Guest .Ejekt Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Well, I hit a roadblock. Is there a way to create an .exe file that will take a .lnk to a folder in the startmenu (Games, Office, Settings)?
Guest amb123 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Well, I hit a roadblock. Is there a way to create an .exe file that will take a .lnk to a folder in the startmenu (Games, Office, Settings)? If I understand your question correctly, you would like to have a link from an .exe file to whatever location you like, right? I use Total Commander for this purpose. It is a freeware. Works well. Install it and try to play with it. It works on wm 6.5 too. If you can't figure it out pm me, I'll guide you through.

I tried to create a shortcut but my phone says it can't be opened. (More specifically, I'm trying to create a file that opens a folder within the start menu. An icon I click that will take me to my games folder, settings, etc.)
Guest 1968falconxt Posted January 15, 2010 Report Posted January 15, 2010 it should work just creating a shortcut in the start menu or games folder. otherwise you can copy the whole .exe file into that directory if memory usage is not a real issue?

What I'm doing (correct me if I'm wrong) is: highlight file > file > ">>>>>" > "Create Shortcut" > "OK" Then, when I try to run the shortcut it says "The file 'x' cannot be opened...not signed w/ trusted certificate blah blah blah...reinstall/restore"
Guest 1968falconxt Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 sorry for the late reply. All you need to do is go to the .EXE file and click "copy". then go to the desired location in file explorer (ie. windows>>start menu>>programs>>games (or just leave it in programs). then click and hold anywhere in this folder and then select "paste shortcut". i just tried it again, and it works

I need a file that when executed will bring you to a folder within the startmenu.
Guest Snow02 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 I know what you're saying. I've been trying to figure this very thing out all morning. Let me know if you figured it out?
