Step 1
The simplest and most familiar way for all users to launch a shortcut is to click on it. In order to launch a shortcut, simply hover over it with the mouse and double-click on it with the left mouse button. After that, the system will launch the program to which the shortcut corresponded.
Step 2
You can also launch a shortcut through its menu. To do this, move the mouse cursor over it and right-click it. A menu will appear opposite the shortcut, where all possible operations with it will be displayed. Select the "Open" option among the entire list and click on it with the left mouse button. After this action, the shortcut activates the launch of a specific application.
Step 3
Often there are such situations that neither double-clicking on the shortcut, nor launching it through the options, will activate the download of the application. In this case, to launch the shortcut, you should follow these steps. Click on the shortcut with the right mouse button. Among all the options, select the "Run as …" option.
Step 4
A window will open in which you need to check the box next to the "Administrator" parameter. After ticking the box, click on the "OK" button. The application will be launched by the system with administrator rights. If the shortcut still won't launch, it is likely that it is corrupted. In this case, you should try to launch the application through its root folder.
