ToothFaerie Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Not really an issue but still very annoying, how do I stop the 'Abnormal desktop Icon' warning showing up, as I do not like shortcuts on my desktop. I use Rocketdock and Objectdock for shortcuts and links. Thank you all, Happy New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas (8 more days of Christmas) and Happy New Year. <<SL>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToothFaerie Posted December 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Hi MX, I do not want a desktop shortcut, this is what happens if I remove the desktop shortcut. Why warn me about deleting the bloody thing as it is in Objectdock & Rocketdock? Happy New Year to you and yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dialog to confirm deleting the shortcut is a Windows dialog, not Maxthon's. Your problem is with Microsoft. However, Maxthon could present a option to create or not shortcuts in various places as other Windows installers may do. <<SL>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to delete something, then I do not want to click on multiple confirm dialogs. It seems to be a Maxthon warning that I have deleted the shortcut, not a wind'uhs confirmation. P.S. I deleted my old Maxthon shortcut from Rocketdock, replaced it with the one that was created after clicking on 'repair shortcut' and the warning message seems to have desisted. The older shortcut (that I have used for well over a year with all MX5 updates) still pointed to the same location, so the only thing I can think of is that some new 'feature' has been added to the Maxthon executable and is incompatible with the shortcuts from previous versions of MX5 (updated to v5.1.4.3000 from 5.1.3.XXXX).
