Best Answer
The solution is to kill the explorer causing these problems:
Open notepad and paste this in:
Choose all files -> save as WIN7FIX.bat
Copy WIN7FIX.bat in the starcraft directory (where starcraft.exe is)
RUN this bat file. DONE !
P.S. There are other guides on the net, but they miss 1 important thing: the
wait
switch. We have to wait until sc1 ends, otherwise the explorer won't start!Extra Credit: If you don't like seeing a command prompt window open up when you run Starcraft, create a second file, however give this one a
.vbs
extension. Right-Click->Edit and paste in the following:change
scFixed.bat
to whatever you named your batch file. Save and close the editor, and run the .vbs file.Cleaning up
Hey Presto! a brand new (working) Starcraft shortcut that doesn't open a command prompt window
