Desktop Icons

To make a shortcut icon on your desktop:

1. minimize any open applications and right click anywhere on the desktop
2. select New -> Shortcut
3. Click the Browse button
4. Select My Computer, then C Drive
5. Locate the MS Works directory
6. click on the MS Works Word Processor exe file
7. Select a name for the short cut, ie Works WP, etc.
8. click Finish

This should produce an icon on your desktop that, when clicked, opens the Works Word Processor.

The above can be repeated to add other shortcuts to your desktop.

Alternately, you could right-click the MS Works shortcut on your Start menu, click 'copy', then right click anywhere on your desktop and click 'paste'.

Monger, great shortcut to making the shortcut!

So that's how it works. Thanks!

You should also be able to right click on the icon in your start/programs folders, and select 'Send To' and send it to the desktop as a shortcut.

Yes, but that would make a shortcut to the shortcut, which would work but isn't really ideal.

Sorry for being off-topic, but Monger I love your signature!
Cool idea...just awesome!

Wow, pretty easy to entertain me isn't it

They become more & more unsynchronized over time though, since the browser loads each gif a fraction of a second later than the previous.

Oh wow haven't figured out yet your signature consists of several .gif files.
But besides that little unsynchronized behaviour your digits still rock
