Right click icon, choose properties, then shortcut, then advanced. Unclick check box run with different credentials. Or just delete the shortcut and create another.

You can try out with Ctrl+Esc Combination.\n\nThere is one more way to achive the same result. Just clik anywhere on the empty space on taskbar. Press Alt+S. It also presses the Window ley for you.

Goto start on your bar> Control Panel > Mouse >Uncheck the switch buttons box under "Button Configuration" in the Button tab > Press Ok\nIt should be fine now.\n\nIf you can't see a mouse option, there should be an option to switch to "Classic View" on the left hand side of the window. Use that, and the Mouse option should now be visible.\n\nYou can also use the keyboard commands like this:\n\nPress the windows key on your keyboard to bring up your start menu\nUse the arrow keys to find "Control Panel" When it is highlighted, press enter.\ntype "mo" on your keyboard, or use your arrow keys, and it should highlight MOUSE. Press enter to bring that up.\nYou should already be in the button configuration, press space to check/uncheck the switch button checkbox.\n\nDone~

Open one window and click and drag to the right size, then hold down shift and click the red x to close the window.\nShift and close together.\n\nHope that helps.\n\nGood Luck.

Assuming youre talking about I.E:\nGo to VIEW then TOOLBARS and you can uncheck or check what you want to see or not see.\n\nFor Desktop icons:\nThey are all shortcuts, you can just delete them.

There should be a "reset layout" in the window tab or another tab...maybe that will work.

what rulesnroses said, plus if you don't have any application open, you'll get Shut Down Windows dialog.\n\njust so you know, you don't have to press it at the same time. as with all similar combinations, you can first hold down Alt then press F4. many people don't realise it, and while trying to press Alt and F4 at the same time, end up pressing F4 and then Alt, in which case nothing will happen, and it confuses people.\n\nalso, you can use Ctrl+F4 to close windows/documents in application that support working with mutiple documents. think of it as "local alt+f4"

dont use the max select.when it opens use your mouse and click on edges of the screen and move to the size you want it to be on open.it should stay that size unless you move it again with the mouse.when you do this you will see a double end arrow when you click on the edges..

I assume you are talking about Internet Explorer browser.\n\nClick Tools -> Internet Options \nClick Advanced Tab\nCheck mark (enable) "Reuse windows for lauching shortcuts" option.\n\nHope this helps.

OK - it sounds like for one reason or another the shortcuts in the start-menu have broken - ie, they are no longer pointing to the correct location.\n\nIf you are that worried, you could simply re-install - personally I wouldn't even bother with that, as it sounds as if there are no actually program errors to speak of.\n\nIf you are specifically after a set of shortcuts in your start folder, try this on for size.\n\nFirst delete the folder in the start menu - no harm in this...they are after all just shortcuts.\n\nThen go to the folder where your execution files are in the "progam folders". Hold the right mouse-button down and drag (one at a time) into the start-menu. Release mouse button and you should see a menu pop up, which will give you the option to create a new shortcut here.\n\nAnd wa-la...you'll now have a new shortcut in the start-menu. Repeat for each.\n\nNB: you can actually correct the locations of the existing shortcuts via the registry editor, but this is a little more complex and if you've not used regedit before, I would avoid this option

You got a sticky ALT or CTRL key...
