Tips and Tricks -- Create Shortcuts

By: The Authors of Pocket PC Tips and Tricks

Shortcuts give fast access to important docs. If you are like I am, you use your Pocket PC to keep a daily journal of activities, or a daily "To Do" list. If you don't use a third-party finance program, then perhaps you use Pocket Excel for your finance tracking needs. (continued...)

All of these types of documents are those that you are likely to access frequently - either daily or several times a day. If you have documents like this, you may want to place shortcuts to them right on your start menu. To place shortcuts on your start menu, do the following:

Open File Explorer.

Navigate to the directory where your file is saved.

Tap and hold on your file and then tap "Copy".

Navigate to "My Device" then tap the "Windows" folder, and then the "Start Menu" folder.

Tap the "Edit" menu.

Tap "Paste Shortcut"

You can then rename your shortcut because longer filenames affect how wide your start menu is.
