Execution Folder and Program?

[Charliec]

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

Hmmm... that's strange. What version of Vista are you running? Are you
logged in as an administrator?

What /are/ you seeing?

Whenever I right-click a shortcut on my Start menu or desktop and select
Properties, I get the expected dialog.

I'm running Vista Home Premium - how do I tell if I am logged in as
administrator?

What I am seeing when I right click on the Icon is in on the desktop,
I am get the "open file location" option and can find the
folder/program the icon represents. But when I right click on an icon
on the Start/All Programs list, I do not get that option. By clicking
on properties, I get a box that provides info on the icon location,
but nothing about the folder/program. The following is available in
that box:

Open
Pin to Start Menu
Add to Quick Launch
Sen To
Cut Copy Delete
Rename
Properties

Whenever I right-click a shortcut on my Start menu or desktop and select
Properties, I get the expected dialog.

Charliec,

For the Start/All Programs:
1. Click Properties
2. Click Shortcut tab
3. Look at Target for the folder and EXE path.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks for the reply, Shawn,
But the Target item is blank.
