I'm trying to verify the program and folder for some of my shortcuts,
but cannot seem to locate the proper information. In the past, when I
wanted to see where a program was being executing from, I would right
click on the icon and properties and I could see the link for the
program. But no more - where can I review that information?

Thanks
Charlie

On the properties box (right click) of the icon you should see 3 tabs
General, Shortcut and Compatibility. The info you want is in the shortcut
tab. Do you have the tabs?

When I click on Start/All Programs and then right click on the short
cut of my choice, I see 2 tabs - General and Shortcut - there is no
Compatibility tab. On shortcut, the following is displayed:

Target Type: Application
Target: Blank
Target - Greyed out

Start In: Blank
Shortcut key: None
Run: Normal Window
Comment: Has some info in it, but nothing I am looking for.

Thanks
Charlie

No I am not multiposting! I have XP on my desktop and Vista on my
laptop and have the same situation on each. I used the same wording
in each as it "describes my situation" on each. I posted the messages
separately as they refer to two different OSs.

Ok, sorry Charlie. You didn't mention the OS here. At any rate, good luck.

Sounds like the "special shortcuts" created in MS Office. Look in the
"Program files\MS Office" folder.
