Shortcut problem

[Guest J.L. Bloem]

Hello there,

Using my E650 for a while now, its just awesome.

Altho, i have a few programs that don't have a shortcut in the Start Menu, but just an executable on my Storage Card.

I remember from the older Windows Mobiles, there was an option to copy a .exe and paste it in the Start Menu folder

as a shortcut.

But, i can't find that option anywhere anymore, nor another solution. Tried doing it manual in Windows, by copying the exe

to the desktop, then create a shortcut, and tried to edit the path like it is on my E650. Tho, Windows isnt taking

the changed path for granted, it says the path doesnt exist, so i can't save the new path.

Any idea how to create a shortcut in the Start Menu, to a .exe on my Storage Card?

Cheers in advance :rolleyes:

On the PC, browse to the EXE on the device and right click. Select 'Create Shortcut' and you'll see a shortcut file appear. Copy this shortcut to \Windows\Start Menu, rename as required, and hey presto :rolleyes:

You could also use something like Resco Explorer to do it directly on the device (free to Plus! members btw!), as that has a 'Send to Start Menu as shortcut' option.

Thanks for the tip, but the option Paste Shortcut greys out for me when i've copied the .exe, when i do it on the PC. Im using Win Vista, so im not exploring through ActiveSync. Could that be a prob?

And, i tried the above, cause there no option to create a shortcut -at all- when i rightclick the .exe. There's only Open, Copy, Remove and Properties.
