Aptiva - Adding programs to the Start Menu of Windows 95 or 98

Applicable to: World-Wide

Use the following steps to add a program to the Start Menu.

From Explorer, or any Windows 95 or 98 file list box, you can drag a program and drop it on the Start Button. This will add a shortcut to that program in a separate area above the program folder on the Start Menu. This is a "quick and dirty" method because you cannot choose the folder to place the shortcut in.

-OR-

1. Using the right mouse button, click on the Task Bar.
2. On the pop-up menu that appears, choose Properties.
3. In the dialog box that appears, choose the Start Menu Programs tab.
4. Click on the Add button.
5. In the Command Line box you can either type the path and program name, or you can click on the Browse button if you need to search your hard drive. Once you have the path and program name in the Command Line box, click on Next.
6. Name the shortcut and click on Next.
7. Now choose which Start Menu folder in which to insert the shortcut and click on Next.
8. Click on Finished.
