Please help an old man who has been a programmer for 60 years!
in 2005 I wrote a program using vb.net.
every month, I add new data to one of the built-in access databases .. recreate the cd distribution disk .. and make the cd available on my website.
almost every day I use the installed program on my own windows 10 desktop pc to check something.
yesterday, I clicked the desktop icon, and nothing happened.
I installed the program on 2 other pcs and the icon works fine.
I re-installed last month's version and the icon works fine .. but when I install the current version cd, the icon fails.
all other desktop icons work ok.
I tried everything I could find on the web, but nothing worked.
.. I tried using the (task-manager) to remove/reinstall (file-explorer).
.. I tried using (appdata) to locate and delete any (localcache) files .. but could not find any (localcache) file.
.. I tried using the (dos) scan functions .. everything looked ok.
.. (auto arrange) is unchecked.
.. I tried recreating the desktop shortcut but that did not work.
