D Burbridge commented on NETBEANS-1537:
---------------------------------------
OK, it's not (just) to do with dead shortcuts then. I've qualified that since,
the first time I go to open a file in Netbeans after a computer restart, I get
a messages about "shortcut xxx doesn't exist, do you want to delete it?" This
is in relation to a couple of things I've uninstalled, nothing at all to do
with Netbeans (I think appsense is putting the shortcuts back at each reboot -
it's notorious for getting tied in knots).
Anyway, when the shortcuts are there, Netbeans gives me messages about them,
twice for each one, then it goes into the "Windows cannot find the target"
messages - 12 of them in fact, I've counted. Finally, I get to the actual Open
File dialog and I can select a file. However, if I changed folders, I get the
"Windows cannot find the target" message three more times in a row, each time I
change folder.
Once the shortcuts are gone, I don't get the "do you want to delete the
shortcut" messages any more (at least, until I next reboot), but I still get
all the other "Windows cannot find the target" messages.
I'm running:
*Product Version:* Apache NetBeans IDE 9.0 (Build
incubator-netbeans-release-334-on-20180708)
*Updates:* NetBeans IDE is updated to version [NetBeans 8.2 Patch
2|http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetBeans8.2PatchesInfo]
*Java:* 1.8.0_192; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.192-b12
*Runtime:* Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_192-b12
*System:* Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_GB (nb)
So very similar, except you've got Windows 10.
I have had Netbeans 9 running on Java 11, though not at present as I'm working
on some Java 8 code. I don't recall whether I had the same issue then, and I
can't check right now.

> Key: NETBEANS-1537
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1537
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: platform - Dialogs&Wizards
> Affects Versions: 9.0
> Environment: Product Version: Apache NetBeans IDE 9.0 (Build
> incubator-netbeans-release-334-on-20180708)
> Updates: NetBeans IDE is updated to version NetBeans 8.2 Patch 2
> Java: 1.8.0_192; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.192-b12
> Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_192-b12
> System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_GB (nb)
> Reporter: D Burbridge
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: dialog, file, menu, open, save
>
> When trying to access any file dialog, I get the message:
>
> netbeans64.exe
> Windows cannot find the target.
> OK
>
> Clicking OK repeats the message several times, until it finally clears.
> Plus, in the log I have:
>
> WARNING [org.netbeans.modules.progress.spi.InternalHandle]: Cannot switch to
> silent mode when not running at
> org.netbeans.core.ui.warmup.MenuWarmUpTask$NbWindowsAdapter$1HandleBridge.run(MenuWarmUpTask.java:244)
>
> (repeated several times again)
> It seems to be the file browsing dialog box that's the problem, as it arises
> on all those I've tested so far:
> File - Open Project
> File - Open File
> File - Save As
> File - Import Project - From Zip - Browse
> Tools - Options - Java - Ant - Browse
>
> I tried deactivating all plugins but the error still occurred, so it looks
> like it's a netbeans issue, not 3rd party. (In fact, all I achieved was the
> complete loss of my plugins as I don't seem to be able to reactivate them
> now!)
>
> The other factor to be aware of is that there are a number of shortcuts on my
> desktop which are currently invalid. I wonder if there is some checking going
> on within the dialog to see where those shortcuts go, but it's creating the
> error I'm seeing? In which case, the checking needs to be done silently -
> after all, invalid shortcuts aren't unusual, especially when working offline.
> Besides, the error comes up (5-6 times) not just when the "Open file" dialog
> comes up, but 2-3 times every time I change directory within that dialog!
