So I take it no one else has the problem, or at least doesn't care about it? I'm trying to put all the Windows Accessories shortcuts into a folder in XLaunchpad, but a third of them don't work. Important ones like Disk Defrag, etc. It'd just be nice to never have to use the Metro interface. Just for fun I tried it in a Win8 Release Preview VM and had the same results. |

Well, I figured out a work around to this issue, not that anyone cares. Instead of using a drive letter path (C:\Windows\System32\dfrgui.exe) you can use a UNC path (\\127.0.0.1\C$\Windows\System32\dfrgui.exe). This will cause a prompt to appear whenever you launch that program, but you can get around that by adding 127.0.0.1 to your Local Intranet zone in IE and changing the Launching applications and unsafe files setting to Enable for that zone. Pretty weird bug! |
