Re: scratch shortcut glitch!!!!!

A few things you can try:
1. Shut down your computer, and restart it.
2. Whatever browser codes you were doing something with, undo what you did
3. Re-install scratch on your computer
Hope this helps!  wink

Re: scratch shortcut glitch!!!!!

Well if you re download do you have to lose all your projects that you made.

You can just move them to a different place on your hard drive, such as your desktop.

Macs have desktops and hard drives, too.

Re: scratch shortcut glitch!!!!!

I'm using windows and how do you move the projects onto your desktop when you can't even open scratch.

Just go to My Documents > Scratch Projects, and drag them onto the desktop. It's that simple!

Re: scratch shortcut glitch!!!!!

Is the problem about the shortcut or the program?

Try this:
1. Press Windows + R
2. Type/Paste "C:\Program Files\Scratch\Scratch.exe" (without the quotation marks) in the text box.
3. Press Enter.
Does Scratch open?

Re: scratch shortcut glitch!!!!!

You can download Scratch again and it shouldn't affect your project files.  It will leave them alone.  Reinstalling Scratch usually cures any problems with the shortcuts...unless it's a shortcut you made yourself somehow.  You might try deleting the shortcut and then reinstalling.  Hope that helps  smile
