Hi andy - welcome to the forum!!

:lol:

If you are talking about your homescreen xml - then I'm pretty sure it only responds to shortcuts (.lnk) oe .exe files. The shortcut plugin contains paths to these. All I can think of is if you make a shortcut to the games folder, and try putting the path into your xml - see if that works.

If not, get back to us & the Modaco geniuses will I'm sure either have a remedy, or at least be able to tell you that it can't be done!!

Good luck! :wink:

Quick answer: not possible.

A bit longer: I know what you want. You want the link to take you to Programs>Games, unfortunately shortcuts (.lnk) to folders do not work. Apparently it is an OS-wide issue. Not sure how this works on WM2003. Resco Explorer at one point supported folder links, but that would take you to the folder within Resco Explorer, NOT the SP Programs menu>Games
