tmurf · 10-22-04, 08:23 PM

I don't understand how to add or remove icons from launcher. I read the instructions befre downloading, but I'm still green with W2K3SE. Where do I find the icon &how do I copy & paste the icons? I guess I do all acions in File Exploree.
Merci

The icons that are shown in the launcher are all of the shortcuts found in My Device/Launcher. If you want to put a shortcut that already exists into launcher, you can browse to My Device/Windows/Start Menu and copy whatever you want from there and paste it into My Device/Launcher. If you want to make a shortcut in the the launcher that doesn't already exist, you can just copy the app and then 'paste shortcut' in My Device/Launcher. Hope that helps.

I don't understand where to copy the apps. I try holding on the app icon but it opens the file. I never get a copy option. Like where would i go to copy the solitaire icon?

You need a File Explorer to copy the shortcut *.lnk files from Windows\Start Menu\Programs to the My Device\Launcher folder, using Copy>Paste. I use Resco Explorer 2003 but this has become rather expensive. Advanced Explorer is virtually as good (it has a recycle bin as well) and costs $2.00. Total Commander is free but not so easy to use. You can ise the built in File Explorer too, of course, but as I never use that I cannot tell you hoe to do it.

To copy w/ File Explore, you click and hold on the right side of the screen on the line of the item you want to copy.

Solitaire is in the windows folder, here is a simple guide to help you

1.) Right click on the active sync icon when docked

2.) choose explore

3.) Select the "My Device" Icon

4.) Where most programs lye

5.) Where to put the shorcuts

6.) A.) Right click and select "Create Shortcut" B.) Right Click on the shorcut you made and select "Cut"

7.) Go into the Launch Folder we talked about in step 5. Then simply right click within the launcher folder and select paste.
