When you encounter a situation where a program has difficulty sending commands when dragging and dropping HTML shortcuts onto your desktop and then running them with Firefox fully closed, there might be a few reasons behind this issue. Here are some possible explanations and troubleshooting steps you can follow: 1. File Association Issue: Ensure that .html files are correctly associated with Firefox. To check this: - Right-click on an HTML file. - Select "Open With" and choose Firefox. - Make sure to check "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file." 2. Permissions: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to execute files on your system. Right-click the file, go to Properties, and check the Security tab to ensure you have the required permissions to run the file. 3. Browser Settings: Sometimes, browser settings can interfere with the execution of files. You can try resetting Firefox to its default settings: - Open Firefox. - Click on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and go to Help. - Select "Troubleshooting Information" and click on "Refresh Firefox." 4. System Integrity: Run a system file checker scan to check for any corrupted system files that may be causing the issue. To do this, open a Command Prompt with administrative privileges and run the following command:

 sfc /scannow

5. Windows Updates: Ensure that your Windows 7 system is up to date with the latest updates from Microsoft. Installing updates can often resolve compatibility issues and improve system stability. 6. Firefox Add-ons: Although you mentioned that you have a fresh installation of Firefox without any add-ons, sometimes add-ons can cause conflicts. If you have added any extensions later on, try disabling them to see if the issue persists. 7. Browser Cache: Clear the browser cache and temporary files to ensure that there are no cached elements causing the problem. After trying these steps, attempt to drag and drop the HTML shortcuts onto your desktop again and run them with Firefox closed to see if the issue persists. If the problem continues, further investigation may be needed to identify the root cause of the issue specific to your setup.
