TonyKlein Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 If you actually drag any item (file or folder) to your Quick Launch bar it will automatically create a shortcut there. Easy as pie!

TheFiresInTheSky Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 id like to just be able to right click and send it there though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyKlein Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Not sure how you might accomplish that. You can however do it in two steps : Rightclick the item, and choose 'create shortcut'. Rightclick your newly created shortcut, and send it to QuickLaunch. Dragging it there is faster though... Not sure how you might accomplish that. I decided to Google a bit, and I found you a small application: "Send To Toys": http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/ Tony CLSID List - A Collection of Autostart Locations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyKlein Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 how does it create a SHORTCUT to the desktop when you right click something? You can do that without that application. i try not to use too many different programs for different things. lags the computer! This won't. It's just a shell extension, and it will not slow you down.

TheFiresInTheSky Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 You can do that without that application. i know that but, how does it work? im not talking about the programs, im talking about what comes with windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyKlein Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 How does it work? im not talking about the programs, im talking about what comes with windows. Not sure what you mean. Rightclick ANYthing, and choose Send To > Desktop (as a shortcut), and exactly that will happen: You'll end up with a shortcut to the file or folder on your desktop, not the file or folder itself.

TheFiresInTheSky Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 thats what i want but with quicklaunch instead. is there any way to change the desktop one to quick launch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyKlein Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 thats what i want but with quicklaunch instead. is there any way to change the desktop one to quick launch? As I said, not that I'm aware off. It may well be possible to write a vbs script to accomplish just that, but that's not something I'm comfortable with. Maybe someone else?
