    When I try to click on my desktop shortcuts, a little window pops up and says PROGRAM.exe file not found.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Did you happen to remove the program, or accidently delete it?

    Sounds like Travis has it down…either way – you need to make a new short cut. Find the program(s) in question..right click…create short cut and place it on the desktop…

    There might be a faster way to do this…but I’m a Mac guy.

    You’ve got it right Brian. Just open up Windows Explorer and do a search for the program. Make a mental note of the floder path it’s under, and go to your desktop. Right click the shortcut icon, and select properties. You will the see a button labled “Find Target”. Click it, and browse to it.

    Agree.

    Another way you can try is go to “Start” “Programs” and select the application you want to make a shortcut to. Instead of a “Left Click”, use “Right Click” and select the “Create Shortcut” option. Then drag it out to your desktop.

    My ghost is back. Now my Outlook Express wont let me open any files such as PDF or JPEG. When on click on the email with a file, it tells me that OE has removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail.

    But when I send those e-mails with files to my work p/c they open and work fine?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Open OE, go to Tools/options/security tab and see if there is a checkmark in the attachments part of the virus protection section. If so remove it and close out.
