Apex Data Loader - Shortcut lost
Hopefully this is a simple problem...
I've installed the data loader after downloading from the website... however it doesn't create a shortcut as standard. All files are installed here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\salesforce.com\Data Loader
How does one manually create a shortcut to this?
Thanks in advance,
Jon
Search in the start menu. Right Click and then Click Pin to Taskbar. Then you can access from there.

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately there has been no shortcut created anywhere on the PC so I am unable to pin it to taskbar. I'm looking how to manually create a shortcut to run this program?
Thanks
Is it installed correctly? If it is installed correctly then it will atleast come in the start menu 'Search Program and Files'. Write there Dataloader and see whether it will come in the search result.

Otherwise go here
C:\Program Files\salesforce.com\Data Loader
Right click
icon_SForceDL32x32.ico
and click Create Shortcut. It will automativally create shortcut in Desktop I guess.

Thanks in advance,

Had the same problem described above. solved it doing the following:
1. Install the data loader .
2. Change to local admin profile.
3. copy dataloader desktop shortcut to the users' desktop.
4. Go to C:\Users\localadmin\AppData\Roaming\
5. If you don't see \AppData you need to make hidden files visible:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=windows-7
6. Copy folder \salesorce.com containing config stuff.
7. Go to C:\Users\“user“\AppData\Roaming\ ("user" is the username in need of the data loader)
8. Copy folder salesforce.com in the users' directory \Roaming.
9. Change back to the User profile.
10. On the desktop, right-click on the dataloader shortcut we copied there earlier.
11. Change all relevant pathes accordingly:
-Dappdata.dir="C:\Users\localadmin\AppData\Roaming" –jar
to
-Dappdata.dir="C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming" –jar (for UserName pick the username of the logged in user)
-----------
"C:\Users\localadmin\AppData\Roaming\salesforce.com\Data Loader 33.0.0"
to
"C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\salesforce.com\Data Loader 33.0.0" (for UserName pick the username of the logged in user)
Done
