Cannot make a shortcut...

Hi...

I cannot make a shortcut anywhere in any folder on my computer.
Windows Vista Ulitmate
AVG 8
No firewall
Running as a user with admin rights...

Right clicking in a folder and choose "New shortcut" yields no reactions at
all!!!

What is wrong?

I would if you'd quoted the post you are replying to.

The "forum" that you are posting in leaches off the Microsoft News servers
in order to make it look far busier than it really is. Everyone who uses the
MS News servers sees your post on it's own - we have NO IDEA what you are
talking about and to whom you are talking.

If you MUST continue to post in this "forum" then please at least quote the
post you are replying to.
You would be far better off however, using a news reader and subscribing to
these news groups direct.

Which is precisely why I don't want to post in the news server. This
forum organizes it all in a nice thread. Besides, the signature I put
on my messages is meant for primarily the questioner to add to my
reputation. Since the question appears in the forum, it is possible to
do so...

But you need to understand, that because Vistax64 forums LEACH off the MS
newsgroups, WE, the users of the MS Newsgroups get fed up with seeing
orphaned posts from yours and many other, forums that do this. Please would
you email the owners to tell them to get people to follow Usenet etiquette
if their forum is going to continue to LEACH off the MS news servers...

Didn't work ... :-((

Hi, Gordon.

AMEN!!

It's amazing (and depressing) to me that LeeTutor doesn't understand what
you are saying. :>(

Why don't "forum" organizers keep THEIR posts in THEIR forum? Because, as
you said, they LEACH from the MS public news server to make their own forum
look (a) busier and (b) more expert than it really is. The worst of those
forums don't even tell their "members" that the help they receive is coming
from OUTSIDE their forum.

It seems to me that almost every OP (original post) that I've read here in
this Microsoft public newsgroup this morning has originated on some forum or
another and been relayed here - probably with no notice to the poster. That
poster has "joined" that forum and has typed in his/her secret password to
read messages there, so he/she probably has an expectation of at least SOME
PRIVACY. And, without even telling the poster, the forum manager has
relayed the question to the Usenet and to this Microsoft news server, so
that the poster's questions and comments are posted openly to news servers
all over the world. And then the poster wonders how perfect (or imperfect)
strangers seem to know about his/her supposedly private conversations that
were posted only on a "private" forum. :>(

I am often surprised to see MY posts in forums where I've never posted at
all. While I'm happy that my wonderful advice is being disseminated far and
wide to users who might benefit from it, I'm dismayed that follow-up
questions or other responses will probably never come to my attention. And
those forum operators will claim the credit for helping, credit that rightly
belongs to the Microsoft public news server for providing the link between
user and helper.

Oh, well. Enough preaching. I'm off my soapbox for now.

Well, so far your reputation here ain't so good. Please don't
reply to Usenet posts in bizarre out of context ways that are meant to
somehow warp a community resource to your own purposes.

Ah, yes... now the REAL reason you like the web interface: your
"reputation".

In case you haven't noticed, it's taking a beating in the real Usenent
world.

Have you all forgotten my request?!?

I have googled around a little, and found out that this is really not a
detached problem. Many others have it too.
But still I can't find a solution...

Solutions like reinstall or system restore are not first choice. May be not
even final choices...
It's like after a tire blows up on your car, you go and get a new car
instead of fixing the tire....

Is this a user account issue, may be?
