    The Itunes Shortcut will not work when I place it into my stardock... Has anyone else encountered this problem? A search on Google and this site have been fruitless so far...

    The error I get is "windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Desktop\itunes.Lnk' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again"


    Any suggestions? I have tried creating new shortcuts and placing them into the dock, and have the latest release of Itunes

    It sounds like the shortcut was originally located on your desktop, then you dragged it into stardock, and it is no longer on your desktop, but that's where stardock is looking for it.

    Edit the shortcut so that it points directly to iTunes.exe

    Right click the shortcut, select 'Dock Entry Properties', and click 'Browse' right below the 'Link' field. Then navigate to iTunes.exe, probably C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe

    Voila!

    Cheers.
