How To Add Desktop Shortcut Icons Back To Google Gears Applications

Posted in How To, Windows on April 24th, 2009 by j3nnings – Be the first to comment

I’m a fan of Google Gears, but things still tend to be a bit buggy. If you accidentally delete the desktop shortcuts to your Google Gears services, here is how you get them back.

  1. Log out of the online service
  2. Go to Tools > Gears Settings (or the equivalent in your browser)
  3. Click Remove next to the url of the service you are trying to repair
  4. Click Apply at the bottom of the window
  5. Clear your cookies and other offline data
  6. Log back into the service
  7. You should be prompted to enable Google gears and install desktop icons

I just spent my whole morning trying to figure this one out. Good luck.
