Default Easy Guide to Creating Shortcuts .vanilla wm6

Im running the Vanilla wm6 ROM still on my TyTN and its working great, im not changing to the XDA or other ROMS out. i dont like not having the Word, Excell, and Powerpoint programs in my PROGRAMS.

Go to File Explorer. It should default in your My Documents folder. Click Up once to "My Device." Click Windows. Click Start Menu.

Now you'll see the Start Menu you get when you click Start, along with the Programs and Settings Folders. Click Programs. Click Office. Click and Hold the program of your choice. Choose Copy. Click Up. Now you're back in the Programs Folder. Click Menu-> Edit-> Paste Shortcut.

Repeat this process to copy shortcuts to your Programs folder or your Start menu. (by going up one more level.)

the office apps are located in the windows folder of the vanilla version,

to make shortcuts open file explorer and go to the windows folder, find the office apps (like pworc) copy the app, goto windows/startup/programs click paste shortcut for each one

if this does not makes sense, then read the whole vanilla thread, someone created a cab folder to install the shortcuts for you.

Yes ... eagle just told you how to do it, either that or use the cab file in the wm6 vanilla thread which will do this for you.

Choose "paste shortcut" instead of "paste" to get the shortcut instead of a copy of the exe file.
