289060 2004-11-07 17:56:00 somewhere in my software I once spied a programme that took a snapshot of your desktop...at the time I thought it was an unusual place for such a programme and now I can't find it, I thought it was in Nero but it's not and it's annoying me ...does anyone have a clue please rabanfield (2234)
289061 2004-11-07 19:00:00 if you mean take a image snapshot use the alt prt scr key then paste into your Fav' image editing software and save beama (111)
289062 2004-11-09 04:12:00 No that wasn't what I meant ,I knew about that one It was in one of my programmes and in a place I wouldn't expect to find it rabanfield (2234)
289063 2004-11-09 09:03:00 do you know the name of program ?(that would help in the next step)
double click on my computer-> right click on the c:\ drive -> search and type in
first option,(if you know the name of it)type in..... <program name>.*
or
secound option,(if program name is unknown)type in..... *.exe This will search the entire c:\ drive for;

first option, any occurrence of the string specified in the <program name).*

second option, search for any files with extension .exe

then check the paths the search reveals and that should tell where on c:\ your lost program is installed then its a simple matter of right clicking on the program exe choose copy then go back to your desktop right click once more and choose paste shortcut
