Pinning cgoban to the taskbar
I recently had to uninstall cgoban due to some issues. After redownloading the cgoban jar, I am unable to pin it to the taskbar or add it to the start menu. I'm running windows 7, and a quick google search didn't help, so I'm getting lazy and asking for advice.

Re: Pinning cgoban to the taskbar
My general quick fix when something isn't working with cgoban is: Open your Java control panel and in "Temporary internet files" click view. CGoban is probably there under applications. Delete it with a right click, then go the the website and install it again. I have xp, but apparently it also fixes some broken win 7 installations too.
Patience, grasshopper.

Re: Pinning cgoban to the taskbar
This worked for me (I already had it working, but with NFA client and I was wondering why the normal client wouldn't let me have a shortcut pinned).daal wrote:My general quick fix when something isn't working with cgoban is: Open your Java control panel and in "Temporary internet files" click view.

Worked perfectly. Thanks for the assistance!

Re: Pinning cgoban to the taskbar
Does everyone have a second kgs icon appearing on win 7, when launching the program - if it's already pinned?

Re: Pinning cgoban to the taskbar
I think the reason for the two icons is that you pin Java Webstart which once it checked for updates starts the normal java executable. So you have to different processes and thus a separate icon.
Sanity is for the weak.
