Is there a newsgroup for Windows 7?

I want to create shortcuts to a program but it doesn't show the program
location.

I want to change icons for a program but it won't do it.

I know this one is for XP, but I can't find a Windows 7 one.

No newsgroups for Win 7, I am afraid. You will need to ask your question
at the appropriate Forum.

Select the one you need from here:

I despise Forums. So, good luck!

Well a newsgroup is a kind of forum, but if it's a web-interface forum it's
very difficult to know or find out when anyone has answered a question. I
usually forget to look, and then when I remember to look I can't find the
place again.

Newsgroups and forums are only as good (or bad) as the people
who inhabit them. Be a good neighbor, and hop you find other
good neighbors. I already migrated to an XP forum and got
a response as quickly as I've always gotten from the MVPs
here. And at least one of the names stayed the same......

"alt.windows7.general" but not all news servers carry it.
