Switch User Icon not working

tsdiscon.exe cannot be found

Sunday, February 13, 2011 by the_great_deceiver | Discussion: ObjectDock

I created a Switch User icon on my desktop to quickly switch between Users. The executable is located under C:\Windows\System32\tsdiscon.exe. This works perfectly fine from a desktop icon. However, when I create an OD icon it displays an error message:

Windows cannot find 'C:\Windows\System32\tsdiscon.exe'. Make sure....

any idea how to fix that?

thanks

Windows 7 64bit ODv2

How did you created the OD icon ? for example when you drag the desktop shortcut on the dock and then you move or delete the shortcut

the OD icon will not work if before wasn't checked the option:

OD Settings > Settings (at top) > Advanced Tweaks > "when a shortcut is added to a dock point to the target, not to the shortcut" !

thanks frankell. I should have included that in my post. I realize that a link to a shortcut with a link to an exe might not work. I created the icon directly in OD. the setting points directly to the exe.

thanks

 

edit: thanks to WinMonster2. the solution is to use C:\Windows\Sysnative\tsdiscon.exe

works perfectly. thank you
