I'm trying to create a series of shortcuts to items for a MultiMedia CD that I'm creating.I try to make it easy for people to use so I create a directory for shortcuts to items on the CD that I want them to access.Then have the autoplay open up that directory so they have access to everything on the CD.How do I create a shortcut that will work on whatever drive that they have assigned on their system.
View 6 RepliesI'm looking for a way to create click-able Icons/shortcuts for various keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+..., etc.).
[My mouse is very acessable, but my keyboard is not. I know about various on-screen keyboards; but I would prefer clickable Icons that I could put in my quick launch toolbar, for example.]
Is this possible to do within XP, or with some program I can install
My company just migrated from Novell to Active Directory. I am new to Windows. I am the local LAN Administrator. I am told to create 2 short cuts as follows: http://www.somewhere.com/home and a mapped shared drive: \some thing my folder and put these two shortcuts on the Human HResource Users' desktop when they login. I am thinking about creating a Human Resource Desktop group so that when someone who is assigned to this group would get the two shortcuts. Since I am new to Windows, I don't know how to do this. Please advice. Much appreciated.
