MJ Launcher Desktop Shortcut

Post by jeffloudcrash »

I am using my majicjack on a vista system. I used the Vista update and configured mj to autholaunch by adding the executable to the startup folder. Everything works great, however a shortcut is created on my otherwise clean desktop everytime I reboot. Any idea how i can stop the shortcut from reappearing?

MJ Tech Support said it can't be stopped!

Thanks for any responses

Try using Autoruns to disable/delete the magicJack cdloader (might as well delete utscsi/CVCL0 too (as those are not needed). Then disable autoruns for that drive. From now on, start the magicjack using the magicjack.exe.

If you start your magicjack with magicjackloader.exe, magicJack will simply replace that desktop shortcut.

Note: during magicJack upgrades, you might need to run through these steps again...

any idea what utscsi & CVCL0 do?
does Mj work any differently using magicjack.exe over magicjackloader.exe (better, worse, load faster, etc...)
Also is it just me or does MJ "create" two addtl drives: one CDrom and one FAT Removable disk?

Ok so I tried this, and couldn't get MJ to work at all. So re-enabled autorun those drives (FYI MJ creates two drives: a CDRom called MAGICJACK and a Removable Disk called Phone.) and reinstalled MJ. Works again like normal. By the way I didn't have CVCL0 on my system at all
