  • How to add a shortcut on the desktop for streets & trips 2013 for windows 7

    Just installed MS streets and trips 2013, I do not see anywhere how to send a shortcut on the desktop. Tried to do a right click on the programs, but this option is not started.

    I don't have the application under test, but normally you right click on the exe programs (or registering in the program menu) and either "create shortcut" or "send to" and then "desktop".

    If the options are not there, your office, do new right click - shortcut, find your exe file of programs (the actual file you want to run) and and we should end up with a shortcut on your desktop to your program. (hopefully :-))

    Hello

    MSN toolbar
    http://www.Microsoft.com/toolbar/

    Loading of the toolbar can make the icon.

    If you wish to make your homepage of MSN, and then when IE is started it will take you to MSN.

    You can also make MSN Favorites page in IE - then go to your Favorites - right-click on the favorite MSN
    then go to the desktop - Right Click and PASTE the SHORTCUT.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to create a shortcut on the desktop?

    desktop shortcut

    where can I get the shortcut on the desktop

    I might have misunderstood your question entirely.

    A longer sentence with a development could avoid this.

    With nothing good to go on, my answer would be... you must create it.

    Example: create a shortcut on the desktop of Windows Media Player...

    Start button > all programs > scroll down the list to find Windows Media Player > right click it > click send to > select desktop (create shortcut).

    A Windows Media Player shortcut is now on your desktop.

  • How to create a shortcut on the desktop to a Notepad document?

    I have something written down in Notepad and you want to create a link to that on the desktop

    Not sure if I understand the problem. But here's a response to just about anything if you do a RIGHT CLICK you get a MENU list and there you should find "create shortcut". Make a LEFT CLICK and you should see it appear in the folder your in. Then if you RIGHT click ON the shortcut you can 'COPY' or 'CUT' and then do a RIGHT CLICK and 'PASTE' anywhere.

    Good luck

  • How to open the file manager in the 'my documents' or create a shortcut that I can place on the taskbar and how to create a shortcut on the desktop

    So many steps required in Windows 7 that were not required before.  One is, I was not able to directly open the file manager to 'my documents', either by placing a shortcut on the taskbar setting enpoidsouen file manager it opens there automatically tasks.

    Also, while I am, I wish you could put a shortcut to 'my computer' on the taskbar, as in former times.  It's a nuisance to the taskbar for these choices, in part because you cannot minimize the folder - must close completely.

    Any ideas?

  • How to create a shortcut on the desktop to window 8.

    DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE A BOOK CAN BE PURCHASED FOR WINDOWS 8 BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND SIMPLE WAYS TO CREATE SHORTCUTS IN XP.

    Moved from feedback

    Original title: OFFICE SHORTCUT WINDOW 8

    IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND SIMPLE WAYS TO CREATE SHORTCUTS IN XP.

    What kind of shortcut?  FWIW I just click right on my desk, new > shortcut and it gives then the shortcut Wizard:

    cmd.exe /c echo hi & pause

    Then he called Test.

    It seems even easier that I remember XP.   For example do a right click of my new Test shortened reminds the complexity that someone just starting to create a shortcut could face.
