How do you run a program that is not on desktop

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

To assist you better, I would like to know the program that you are trying to install.

This issue may arise when the program is already been installed on the computer or the computer has the earlier version or some residual files of the particular application which has been installed earlier.

I suggest you to click on uninstall and see what happens to the file. Once the uninstallation process finish check whether you are able to install it again.

If you are trying to access the program that is already installed and if the shortcut is not available, I suggest you to access the folder where the software has been installed and right click on the file and select create
short option.

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.

 

How do you run a program that is not on desktop

How do I run a program? If I open my program file the only thing I can do is uninstall or delete the program. Before 10 I could list my installed program and double click on the one I wanted to run. What have you idiots ant Microsoft done now?

 

Yes any computer can run any program that is installed on the hard drive. Do not know about the LOL. Has nothing to do with the question. As for rebooting a remote unit, you have to have special gear and a way to connect with it to force the computer that you are having issues with to reboot.

 

er that 70kbps >< download is nearly 1000. And the LOL is to laugh at the crap I am stuck with

 

Again the LOL and the rest of this sentence does not help to get answers. You can laugh all that you want about your situation, but I am not laughing if you really want someone to answer you seriously. Try a different approach next time if you expect help with figuring out the issue.

 

K.... anyway can you open a file on your computer and have the program on the server run it on the server? I'm trying to figure out how much I need to do, almost wish you could run a remote computer more like a VM but it should be about sameish as far as interface goes?

 

As for the remote reboot, several years ago a shop I worked in used an APC device that allowed logging into from the 'net and shutdown or restart devices plugged into it, had several ports. We used 3, two with banks of modems and another with a few servers.
APC Remote Power Switch

 

Most KVMs support remote restart capability. You can also cause a reboot through a remote session through the shutdown command at the command line, or its equivalent (I use 8GadgetPack to run gadgets on my Win10 machines, and the "Control System" gadget includes a restart button that works both locally and remotely).
HTH,

Ask sorry I was not being clear(late night posting FTW)

Trying to offload some programs to the server, I have to reboot my main computer alot(a few times aweek) so when it's recording live stream(6am-8pmest, wgow 102.3 talk radio FM),ect it will break my MP3s. The FTP stuff can take a while so I would rather it upload it off the server than the main PC.

Some of the programs I use don't have a remote option so my main question is, can I move my files onto the server and have the program on the server use the server resources to upload the files?

Would something like AeroAdmin work?
