Help! This afternoon I decided I was going to figure out how to add a shortcut to pogo.com on to my desktop. For some reason I have not been able to do this lately, so I started playing around with different things....not a good idea if you aren't VERY computer savvy! lol Anyway, I somehow managed to reset or delete ALL of my shortcuts, even the ones in the "start" menu and in my "control panel!!!" Don't ask me how I did this, but I can't right click on anything to open it up, I mean nothin'! The only thing I have that works is the "E" icon on my desktop to get me online. I tried your suggestions, but when I right click on that E, it tells me..."Windows cannot access the specified device,path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions.....blah blah blah. I'm freaking out! I can't even find a place to get in and restore my settings to a specified date!! What can I do, I'm about to have a full blown meltdown if I can't find a way around all the error messages...lol I'm shocked that I messed things up so bad that I can't even access anything from the start menu!!! Why oh why isn't there a giant "UNDO everything I just did to my computer" icon on my desktop? Haha I noticed this is an older topic from last year, but it's the only one I can seem to find that discusses my exact problem. Thanks for any help!!!!
the best thing you can do is call the company that you buy internet from, for example: comcast, thats me :) . then tell them the problem and they should tell you to go to their website and download a free security system that asts a lifetime. :O
Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Ask a question
I went to IE and used their 'fix it' program...then rebooted...then went into IE properties and made sure IE was my default browser...everything works fine now...
"How to fix internet shortcut: Application Not Found!"
- When opening Browser.
This is the quickest solution to the problem.
A. when your at the Desktop press (Windows+R) and write "Control panel" ENTER.
(or open Control Panel).
B. Select "Default Programs" (if you see the overview of all files).
(or if opened Control panel > choose "Program" > "Default Programs")
C. Selext the (4-color icon) "Set your Default Programs"
(a list with programs on left will come up.)
D. Select by Default your IE "internet Explorer"
E. Select and choose from the bottom section "Set this program as default"
F. @ Test your Internet Shortcut, Does it opens naturally as it should?
YES = Internet Explorer is flawless and works.
NO = Windows can be corrupted and need a repair (Try first repair IE!)
G. If IE worked, Try change back to your old browser AFTER rebooted PC, to make sure everything is in order. should work like a charm!
