Solve : Quick launch problem? |
| Answer» <html><body><br/> Hi all,<br/><br/><br/>I have a problem with starting quick launch icons in the left side of my taskbar. I use Winows XP and have administrator rights on my laptop.<br/><br/><br/>Every time I start any quick launch icon, I see message on desktop :<br/>"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item!" <br/>After I see that message, my only option is to click OK button and nothing happens than.<br/><br/>Desktop ickons work properly.<br/><br/>Could someone please help me to solve this problem, because sometimes I really need quick launch to work properly!<br/><br/>Thanks<br/>Thanks for fast response,<br/><br/>but I have alredy tried it for at least ten times!<br/><br/>Every time after your proposal procedure I see alredy written message on desktop !<br/><br/> Hi MAC, here are the answers on your proposal actions:<br/><br/>Have you tried TweakUI for XP (Icons Repair Option)? <br/><br/>Yes, I tried it before one hour, and error messages when I try to start quick launch are the same! <br/><br/> :-/<br/><br/><br/>Did you try to increase icon cache size with regedit??<br/><br/>The answer is the same as for first proposal. I have increased icon cache size value to 4096 and later to 8192, but the error message is not changed. I also rebooted the computer to changes be accepted, but nothing!<br/><br/> <br/><br/>I am still without solution!! <br/><br/>Please help!!<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item!" <br/></blockquote><br/>Have you tried to access a shortcut from the desktop <strong>before</strong> dragging it to the taskbar?<br/>Have you somehow locked your taskbar with a 3rd party program?<br/>Start in safe mode and try them?<br/>Is it happening to all taskbar quickstart icons?Hi, here are the answers on your questions:<br/><br/><br/>Have you tried to access a shortcut from the desktop before dragging it to the taskbar?<br/><br/>Yes, When I start aplication with desktop shortcut it works perfect. Then I use the same shortcut from desktop and dragg-drop it to quick launch. After that action I see error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item!". Then I dragg-drop it again on desktop and it works normally again (when I start it from desktop).<br/><br/>Have you somehow locked your taskbar with a 3rd party <br/>program?<br/><br/>I think no, because taskbar icons on the right side of taskbar (near clock) work perfect. Just quick launch icons problem.<br/><br/>Start in safe mode and try them?<br/><br/>Yes, I have started it in safe mode with network options and I see the same message when I start quick launch icons. I have Windows 2000 on the same lap-top and quick launch icons work normaly with that OS.<br/><br/> <br/>Is it happening to all taskbar quickstart icons?<br/><br/>Yes, it is happening to all taskbar quick launch icons. The output message you can see in answer on your first question!<br/><br/> Hi Mac, <br/><br/>For the beginning thanks a lot for your support.<br/><br/>But unfortunately I have to disappoint you again. I tried to send you print screen of some installed <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/programs-239435" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROGRAMS">PROGRAMS</a> in my lap-top. But it seems it is not possible to do on this way. So you have to trust me that service pack 2 is alredy installed on this computer.<br/><br/><br/>I write also few sentences for general description of my quick launch problem. Quick launch icons have worked properly when XP has been installed in this lap-top. But before one month I had problems with one business application which I have installed. That application has occupied whole C system disk of my laptop (full capacity of C disc). It should not happen because that application was not so huge and I had enough place on hard disk. Unpredictable error has occurred. I could not shut down lap-top from that moment; it was possible to do just physically on button. So I had to disable hibernate option to free some memory on system disc. After that action I could normally shut down the notebook, and after first restart C system disc occupation size was OK. Everything was OK with restart, hibernating and shut down of notebook, but this problem with quick launch occurred from that moment. <br/><br/>I suppose that you have full description of my problem now! It makes me more and more nervous. Sometimes I need fast start of some applications over quick launch, but it is not possible… Error message is the same every time.<br/><br/><br/>If you have some proposal(s) please write. Everything except reinstallation of XP is acceptable, because I do not have official rights to do that on this lap-top.<br/><br/>Thanks in advance! <br/><br/> Hi,<br/><br/><br/><br/>As I have written I do not have rights to reinstall Windows on this lap-top, because it is official one. I did not perform anything regarding <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/changing-246341" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CHANGING">CHANGING</a> processor speed on it.<br/><br/>I also think that there should be some solution for this quick launch problem without reinstallation. In all documentation I analyzed this days is written that <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/destination-244461" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DESTINATION">DESTINATION</a> path for quick launch is in folder: <br/><br/>C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch<br/><br/><br/>There are quick launch icons present in this folder in my home PC and it works perfect.<br/><br/>I checked quick launch paths in afectted notebook and I noticed two quick launch paths: <br/><br/>1) C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch<br/><br/><br/>2) C:\Documents and Settings\\<strong>Cookies</strong>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch.<br/><br/><br/><br/>It is possible to start (left mouse double click) quick launch icons in folder number 1. But if I want to start icons from folder number 2 there is the SAME ERROR MESSAGE like I receive from desktop quick launch starting.<br/><br/>When I see location of quick launch icons form desktop (right mouse click on desktop quick launch icon->properties->general) I see its location in folder number 2.<br/><br/>Is there any way to change target of desktop quick launch icons from folder <br/><br/>C:\Documents and Settings\\<strong>Cookies</strong>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch <br/><br/>To<br/><br/>C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch.<br/><br/><br/>I think it is solution (without reinstalling Wiondows) of my quick launch error message: Windows cannnot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item. <br/><br/>Is it maybe virus (or something) what forwards me in <strong>Cookies</strong> folder???<br/><br/>Thanks<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Hi all,<br/><br/><br/><br/>I fixed the quick launch problem. Now it works perfect.<br/><br/>I have tried to delete Cookies/Aplication data folder and move it to recycle bin. But every time I have received message it was not possible because it was Windows system folder. So I have just draged&dropped „Aplication Data“ system folder from my wrong „cookies“ path to this correct one:<br/><br/>C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch <br/><br/>The old one Aplication Data folder was overwritten with new one and BINGO!!! Now it works! <br/><br/>But still I do not know how was my Quick Launch folder moved from correct path to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/bad-389290" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BAD">BAD</a> (cookies) one??? Cause of problem was not initiated by me. I know the solution and problem seems very stupid now (for me at least), but I spent a lot of time during <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/holidays-1028389" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HOLIDAYS">HOLIDAYS</a> to fix it. <br/><br/>Now it will be much easier to work with few applications at the same time with quick launch fixed.<br/><br/><br/><br/>We can close this topic now!!!!! <br/><br/><br/>MAC thanks a lot for your help&support!!!<br/><br/>Happy New Year!<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/></body></html> | |
