Create Control Panel Shortuct on Desktop
Joey called and wanted to know how to create a Control Panel shortcut on his desktop in Windows XP. Here's the steps, and they work for any program:
- RIGHT Click on the Control Panel icon in the start menu (or any program icon)
- Hold the RIGHT button down and drag to your desktop
- Release the button and choose Create Shortcut
Mouse not clicking properly
Rick...I am running a HP Pavillion (Origional operating system was ME), I have since updated to XP Pro with 512 memory....Pentium III. Computer works great except I am having trouble with having to click my mouse many times to get it to engage (as many as 100+ clicks)....sometimes I can hold the click for several seconds until I can see that the icon changes and the mouse engages.
My virus killer is Norton Internet Security. I also have Spybot and Adware (Free versions) installed on my computer.
When the problem intensifies, I run spybot first and usually it finds several problems: Double Click/Avenue A, Inc./Fast Click/ Advertising.com/Hit Box/Wild Tangent. Ad-aware will then also find tracking cookies that I also check mark to dispose of.
After running these two programs (Spybot/Ad-Aware), my computer will behave better for a short while and then the problem (Multiple mouse clicking) will return. Lately, I have needed to run these programs daily.
This problem pre-dated the update to XP Pro. I do not have any trouble with key strokes....only mouse clicks.
Do I have a virus (None is found when I scan with Norton) or am I not getting the Hard Drive cleaned from the spyware? How do I correct this situation??? How do I keep the spy ware from returning? It seems as if it is the same spyware that Spybot and Ad-Aware keep finding.
Hope you can help me as this is quite annoying.
