How to create shortcuts?

This is probably a real newbie question, but here goes: I've uploaded several different game programs to my X51v, but they're not all showing up in the Games folder, where I want them to be. Trying to save the main memory ROM for more important things, (such as ???), I installed some games to the removable cards. But now some games show up in the Start --> Programs --> Games folder. Others show up in Start --> Programs --> File Explorer --> My Device --> Program Files. And with others I need to tunnel down to either the Start--> Programs --> File Explorer --> My Device --> SD Card (or CF Card) --> Program FIles. Is there a way to set up a shortcut (or whatever) so everything shows up in the main Start --> Programs --> Games folder? I've had this thing about a week, and I'm still learning. If this quesiton is already answered somewhere, can someone please post a link?

TIA,
JG

An easy way to do this is thru activsync. Just copy the executable and paste the shortcut into the games folder,. Probably under windows ->start menu->programs->games

Use file explorer and find the file that opens the game. Or go to /windows/start menu/programs to find shortcuts in the wrong folder. Tap and hold on the file or shortcut that opens the game. Select copy. Go to the /windows/start menu/programs/games folder. Tap and hold and select paste shortcut. Do this one by one and youll be set.

Plug your Ax to your computer, run activesync, then select explore from activesync and do what spunker said earlier. I think it's easier doing it thru your computer provided you're more proficient with your computer. Your pocket pc is literally a small pc so it's quite similar.

Boy, that was simple, and do I ever feel dense! LOL! It worked like a CHARM. I didn't know I could do that sort of thing. Thanks very much!
