    Instanced Desktop shorcuts

    Two things, one is that the Desktop is actually a folder in C:\Users in File Explorer, can't have 2 or more identical files or shortcuts of the same name. The other is on the right-click of the Taskbar, click Toolbars and put a check on Desktop, will get an item on the Taskbar when clicked will give a list of the shortcuts on the Desktop but will usually be a random list unless maybe the Desktop is sorted by name.

    Windows 10 Keyboard Shorcut to Calculator?

    Option 1

    • File Explorer, type this (shell shortcut) in location bar shell:AppsFolder, right-click Calculator, Create shorcut, Yes
    • Right-click new Calculator shortcut on Desktop, Properties, there is our Shortcut key field/entry!

    Option 2

    • Go to %WinDir%\System32, right-click calc.exe, Create Shortcut, Yes. Then step 2 above

    If I placed the shortcut in %WinDir%\System or Documents it seemingly wouldn't work!? It was flakey even moving back to Desktop, but after I set the shortcut to something else, hit Apply, then back to Ctrl+Shift+C it'd work How can I delete the shorcuts which is strange :p

    Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


    Suggestion:
    1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
      x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
    2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
    3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
    4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
      NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
