THE FASTEST APPLICATION IN THE WEST "When I read one of
your tips that I want to keep around for future use, I do a quick cut-and-paste
into WordPad. How do I install WordPad on my Taskbar--as opposed to a desktop
shortcut--so it's more easily accessible?" There are two options you
may wish to consider. The first is to create a hot key for WordPad, so you can
open it at the press of a keyboard combo. Right-click the shortcut you use to
open WordPad and select Properties. Click the Shortcut tab, then click inside
the text box next to Shortcut key. Type the letter you'd like to use in
combination with Ctrl-Alt to open the program, for example, W (Windows 98 fills
in the Ctrl-Alt part). Click OK, and from now on, pressing Ctrl-Alt-W opens
WordPad. Your other option is to
add a WordPad shortcut to your Quick Launch toolbar (the row of icons to the
right of your Start button). Click and drag your current WordPad shortcut down
to this toolbar between two existing icons (or on either edge of the bar). A
black line will appear to let you know you've chosen an acceptable place to
create a shortcut. Let go, and you now have Taskbar access to WordPad! (Tip: Use the above techniques to create quick access to any of your favorite applications.) This page last updated: Monday, 24. May 1999 09:47:02 -0500 |
