    How to Create a Windows 7 "Troubleshooting" Shortcut

       Information
    This will show you how to create or download a Windows 7 Troubleshooting shortcut. You can also Pin to Taskbar or Pin to Start Menu this shortcut, or move where you like for easy use.
       Note
    Troubleshooting in Windows 7 helps you troubleshoot problems with Programs, Devices, Network, Printing, Display, Sound, Performance, and Windows. Each category will open up a separate troubleshooting wizard that will automatically diagnose and report any problems it finds, then will list any available options to help resolve the problem. Sometimes it can automatically fix the problem for you as well.

    EXAMPLE: Troubleshooting

    2. Click on Save, and save the .zip file to the desktop.

    3. Open the .zip file and extract the Troubleshooting shortcut to the desktop.

    4. Right click on the Troubleshooting shortcut, and click on Properties, General tab, and on the Unblock button. (See screenshot below)
