I have started using Oracle database server on Windows 7 64 bit OS and I have encountered the following error.

"Error- Windows cannot find 'http://127.0.01:%HTTPPORT%/apex/f?p=4950'. 
 Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again"

I tried to change the properties of get_started but it says that the changing cannot be applied on this shortcut.

Simple solution:

You need to directly tell where your http port is. To do so; open up the folder where your Oracle is stored and navigate to server folder( in my case C:\Oracle\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server) in that folder right click to Get_Started file and choose properties. There you can hand type your http port which is usually 8080 in my case: ....127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950

The problem should be solved.

Hope this helps you get through it..
