You're welcome Gerry :). I'm glad that at least a few people have found the information useful.

Hello Shawn.

I figured as much as I suggest this to people I may as well give it a go, works a treat mate.

Thanks!

this works for me. but i do have a question,, do you also see a black window that looks like a command prompt then disappears before the program starts? anyone? thank you

Hello s7ven.

Yes, that's just the order of things; it's the program/app getting elevated so it can run.

Great tutorial but I have a question.
Is there a way to merge icon of this shortcut with icon of the program being run on taskbar (these are two different applications obviously sou their icons display separately)?
It's not a big deal but it's a bit annoying.
Thank you very much anyway.

Hello BlastFX, welcome to Seven Forums!

As there is a difference in the 2 icons, the first starts or activates the program and the second, an indication the program is active, I don't believe there's anything to do to make it happen; let's see if anyone has other input on this question.

Shawn.

That was an excellent addition to your tutorial. It's just a shame that I can't then put them all in a folder and remove the icons from the desktop by closing the folder. I don't suppose that has changed?
