Aptiva - Creating Menu option for new program
Applicable to: World-Wide
Explanation
If you have just installed a new application and want to be able to choose it off the Program Menu, rather
than use Windows Explorer to find it and execute it, do the following:
1. Install the application (if this has been done, go on to #2).
2. Click on the Taskbar with the right mouse button.
3. Click on Properties with the left mouse button.
4. Click on START MENU PROGRAMS tab with the left mouse button.
5. Click on ADD with the left mouse button.
6. Choose BROWSE.
7. Find the installed applications directory name and double-click on it with the left mouse button.
8. Find the executable file's name and double-click on it with the left mouse button.
9. Click on NEXT.
10. Choose where in the menu, you want the application to go and click on that folder once (Example, Aptivaware). Click on NEXT, then give it a name and click on FINISH (or press Enter). Or, for creating a new folder, click on NEW FOLDER with the left mouse button and give the new folder a name. Press Enter and then name the ShortCut (the folder and the shortcut can have the same name). Click on FINISH (or press Enter).
11. If required, choose an icon, then double-click on it with the left mouse button (or choose FINISH).
You are now done. To start the application, simply find it in your Start Menu and click on the icon.
