HI everyone, I have searched and searched around on the forum to tell me how todo this but have not had any luck!!!

What I want to do is create a shortcut or move a program that did not originally have a .exe file to install itself in the correct directorys on my PDA. This means that the file was and still is just a simple PDA .exe file that you just click on through (for example) file explorer it launches.

Now is there a way of creating a shortcut to show this program in the "Program" folder so it is easier to launch and use??

I'm sure there is and I would greatly appreicate a reply :D
Keep up the good work people.
Soon we'll be mightier than *icrosoft !!!! :?

The way I did this (don't know if it is the best way but) was with the PPC in the cradle and Active Sync running, clicked explore on Active Sync and created a shortcut in explorer (directly on the pocket device) and then cut and pasted it into the programs folder.

just copy the exe.file and paste as shortcut into the windows/start menu/programs folder
