First of all, great program! However, I seem to have an issue adding some .exe files to XLaunchPad if they are in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. A few of the files I’d like to add but cannot are:
- Sound Recorder
- Snipping Tool
- Sticky Notes
- Windows Fax and Scan
They can be opened by clicking the shortcut in the Start Menu or on the executable itself. All the permissions are the same as other .exe’s that work. I’m using Windows 7 Enterprise x64 edition.

The weird thing is that if I try and add the files directly in XLaunchPad I don’t even see the executable! I have a screenshot showing the Windows Fax and Scan executable (WFS.exe) under System32, but the forground windows is XLaunchPad which doesn’t see it there.

Let me know if I'm doing something wrong, but this seems like a bug to me. Thanks for reading!

Hi! I can't help you sadly, what I can tell you though is that this is not the right place for this. This topic is for XWidgets not XLaunchPad. Please re-post this in the right section.
Thank you!

Best regards,

Sorry, I didn't notice that the forum links for each product on the main page went to the same forum page - just picked the first category I saw related to bugs. I'll repost in the proper one now. Thanks for the heads up!
