I have an MSI package that creates some shortcuts, playing around with Windows 8 I noticed that on the Start screen it shows only the shortcuts from the top level folder of my application which I create in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\. When I hit "All apps" Windows displays and the shortcuts from the sub-folders for other apps (for example VS 2012), but not for mine. Does anyone knows why? What else do I need to do so I can have Windows display shortcuts found in my sub-folder when the user selects "All apps"?
Here is a partial answer. It appears that there is a problem with the app indexer. So far I haven't found a way to simply force the search to find my apps without a bit of unneeded effort. To force search to find your app you can simply pin it to the start menu and then unpin it from the start menu this adds it to your local preferences.
Another indication of what is happening is that, even if a shortcut is deleted, it still shows in the All Apps menu until you do a disk cleanup and delete thumbnails.
I found another oddity. I have Tortoise Svn installed and anything I put in the start menu folder for that application shows up, but in my Open Office start menu folder the link has to be prepended with "OpenOffice.org " to show up.
I install my shortcut links here:
C:\Users\Randall\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
This works just fine for me. My shortcuts all show up in the Win8 all apps list.
I'm installing in the user's profile so my app can run as a non-admin.

Windows Defender might impact performance
Exclude IDE and project directories from antivirus scans:
C:\Users\shahrokh\IdeaProjects\untitled1
C:\Users\shahrokh\AppData\Local\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2021.2
C:\Users\shahrokh.gradle
Alternatively, add the IDE process as an exclusion.
i search it in the special site of intellij idea ,and see it:
If you prefer to perform the necessary configuration manually, you can do so by following these steps:
Click the Start button
Type “Windows Security”
Click on “Virus and threat protection”
Click on “Manage settings” under “Virus & threat protection settings”
Scroll down if needed, and then click on “Add or remove exclusions”
For every folder shown in the notification, press the + button, select “Folder” from the menu, and select the folder.
but when i search Windows Security my system show me windows defender ,there arent these setting
In addition, I changed my anti-virus settings so as not to interfere with the intellij idea process. But again, the problem was not solved.
i use kaspersky protection
please help me
You don't have to worry about anything. IntelliJ will continue to function as it is intended to and will get the work done. I also get some messages like this sometimes and just ignore them. Again there's no major impact on the performance. Hope that I was able to help.
i uninstall my intellij idea then install it again and it solved
I have a WiX installer which creates start menu shortcuts for the application and pdf documentation (and another with html documentation). However, I have noticed that Windows 10 does not find the pdf when I search for it in the start menu (it only finds the application). The shortcut is there and if I drill down into the start menu, I will find it - just can't search for it.
I don't think Windows 10 will find shortcuts to anything other than .exe, .bat and .chm. I can create a .bat file that will launch the pdf / html documents but this doesn't seem like the cleanest solution to me.
Does anyone have any other suggestions or opinions?
im making a vb.net app and i want to set the icon, how can i do this?
--edit--
turns out i was a bit confused, and it was working. but the answers can still be useful for others.
If I understand the question and issue, your setup/installer might be missing something.
It would seem you did create a shortcut, add it to the Setup project to install to the Desktop (else you wouldnt have one at all)
Select the shortcut in your setup project, open the properties window
Click Target. The list of files you are installing will come up. Select the App.Exe (ie the main executable "MyApp.exe" ususally the primary output). I think Icon is supposed to be set to "Icon" as well.
I think those 2 things combined link the Desktop Shortcut's Icon property to Use the App.Exe's. If there is also a shortcut in the user's programs menu do the same thing (or drag drop a copy).
You are basically doing to the Setup Project's shortcut what you would do to a normal desktop icon to change it or set it. The proj apparently fills in the actual path etc at install.
EDIT
PUBLISH simply compiles everything and produces files for the dev to distribute. It is called PUBLISH because in many cases the output includes a ready to use Setup program for the END USER to install on the PC. (Based on your new Pic, you are trying to reinstall everytime you click the icon or file inside the folder.)
Again, if you do not add a Setup proj to your project, the default one is used and it gives no option for where to install and does not add a shortcut.
Just delete all that junk, Publish again to the default location (VS Studio\...Project name\bin\Publish). Go to that folder and run setup. It will still install to Users\AppData.. but will add a shortcut (to the program) to the start menu.
For a desktop icon, do the "Send To Desktop ..." thing. To INSTALL an icon, you have to add and modify a Setup proj to your Solution.
HTH
'The folder shows the icon for the app, but the icon for the form is different. change the form's icon(in the property grid) to the same as the app and you should see it then.
When you publish it there's 2 files produced that are basically setup files. One relies on the ClickOnce Application Deployment Support Library and the other is a standalone setup app. Since neither one is the actual app you designed, they aren't going to have the icon you want. You'll probably have to investigate other more configurable deployment options.
When using ad hoc deployment in accelerator I get all green checks and no errors. However when you install the .ipa file it never compeletes. It gets about 80% done and then fails.
If you deploy locally to a devices it works. (hooking up to the computer & using itunes). all emulators work great.
I have tested on several devices and the same issue occurs on all of them. I have tried to create a new project and recreate files in the resource folder.
Any ideas on what could be causing this problem?
To make ad-hoc deployments work with TestFlight (which sounds like the analogous problem you have), I did roughly:
right click on the app root in the Titanium Studio and choose Publish -> Configurations
find the config labeled "Titanium Apple Ad Hoc/Enterprise Distribution"
click the small new button at the top left of the list and give it a name
fill in the "steps" on the right, in particular the Distribution Cert & Provisioning Profile
After doing this, you can build by selecting this config. I have found if you add a new device via iTunes, you need to download the profile (of course) and then go back into this dialog and select the Provisioning Profile again, but I'm not quite sure if that's necessary.
If yes, is there a way to compile (NOT obfuscate) JS code for deployment in ChromeOS?
From quickly looking at the codebase using the Chromium.org Git browser, it appears that Google haven't gone out of their way to remove the "View page source" menu item from the version of Chrom(e|ium) shipped in Chrom(e|ium) OS.
Of course, there's nothing to prevent them from hiding the option in the UI, or removing the feature all together by #ifdef-ing it out, though.
