Default Palm Application replacement

I switched from Palm to the Sprint TP with WM 6.1 (I love the change). When I had my Treo, there was a program called Sharklinks http://www.ludustech.com/sharklinks/ . It was great. It would create a palm launcher icon (shortcut), that was related to a browser url.

You would click on the shortcut, it would launch your browser, and bring you to the site.

Is there any such program that will work on the sprint TP.

TIA

You have a few options. If you want to access the icon from the today screen, you can add the URL shortcut file as a document to Today plug-ins like Resco Explorer.

You could also drop the URL shortcut into your /Windows/Start Menu directory or /Windows/Start Menu/Programs to get to it other ways.

I made the switch from Palm OS several years ago and am never going back.

I guess I am trying to figure out how to create the url shortcut.

I want to set up a folder under the start menu for streaming radio stations.

I then want to setup shortcuts in the folder so that when I click on them the Station starts to play.

Do I just copy the URL, and past in the folder to create the shortcut for that url.

I am a windows maniac, but I am just learning WM 6.1

Is there a way to create folders in the Start menu in WM6.1 Pro? And, to this guy's point, is there a way to make an item in the Start menu be a URL?

I figured my problem out. I was able to click on the radio station links, and they created ASF files in the music folder. I then used Shortcut Creator to create shortcuts to the ASF files in a folder in the programs section of start up.

And to answer JonDeutsch's question: the easiest way is to access your mobile device re: activesync, go to the directory windows/startup/programs, and right click, and new folder.

Hope that helps.

P.S. I still have not figured out how to actually create a URL Short cut that I can put into any folder I want. This community is a great group of developers. This would be a great program to develop.
