p3dv4.5 pinned saved flights wont work, doesnt exist error?

[theskyisthelimit 48]

In the past, when i pinned p3d to the taskbar, i could relaunch saved fxml files from the icon after they were initially launched from the prepar3d v4 files folder in my documents.  Now for some reason after doing an update to the latest p3dv4.5, it errors out and says "the item you selected is unavailable" and offers the choice to delete it.  The file exists, it can be launched from the desktop (shortcut to the saved situation), but just not from the taskbar p3d icon.

Minor difficulties here but im trying to figure out why.

Anyone ran into this before?

Thanks in advance

Maybe you had P3D launching as administrator?  Try playing with that and see.

I would try first to unpin the shortcut and delete it. Make a new shortcut, run P3D from it and pin that. Usually the saved flights held in the user area are unaffected from permissions unless the User has changed login. However, if these have been saved in a personal folder or NAS they might have become unavailable through a change from Running as Admin.

I do run it as admin, i put the same shortcut on the desktop and it prompts for admin rights and loads, it then puts a shortcut on the pinned taskbar icon, but that one blows up these days, odd.

No luck? Another thing to try; right click on an fxml and choose open with - setting to always open with.

Well yeah that works (from the desktop), not from the p3d icon however, oh well, there are workarounds at least.
