Creating shortcuts

Adding Shortcuts to the Desktop(Windows 98)

An easy way to add a shortcut of a program to the desktop is to:

  1. Using Windows Explorer, find the program you are interested in

  2. Right click on the icon

  3. Select Send To / Desktop as Shortcut


Adding Shortcuts to Menus

If you drag a shortcut to the Start Menu and drop it, you will get a shortcut on your Start Menu.
To add it to a Program group below the Start Menu, hover it there for a second or two and the group will expand.
You can then insert the shortcut into that Program Group.
A divider line will be displayed to let you know where you will be placing the shortcut.

To move a shortcut, left-click on it and move it to the new location.
