Ok im using windows 2000 and all of a sudden my desktop shortcuts that i have to games have stopped working tried re-installing software but to no avail the 2 games are madden 2k2 and global ops both desktop shorcuts refuse to work. even if i go into the programs folder they wont work the start menu shortcuts work but not desktop very strange. Anyone have any ideas.

Yes i can copy the shortcuts from start programs but this is not the point because i need a shorcut from the application .exe so that i can run in a window.
 
You do not have to reinstall your games or other programs.

What I do is delete the desktop shortcut icon. Then using Explorer I recreate a new icon for the program. Then you can set your hot keys and they should work OK.

Just did the today for one program where an unfriend deleted my desktop icon with the hot keys. Recreating a new shortcut icon now works.

Create the new icon before deleting the old one just in case.

 
it dont work bro, the thing is the application .exe it points to wont open either. Yet that software was re-installed twice now and still no joy
