Can you make shortcuts on a PPC (2003 se)

I have an XDA IIs but I guess that makes little difference except for the fact it is running 2003 SE.
Rather than have to use 'file explorer' to run some software on the storage card I would like to have a 'shortcut' instead. Is this possible? Can someone please tell me how?

In file explorer find the item you want to make a shortcut to.
Tap on it and hold until the popup menu appears.
Select "Copy" from the menu.
Now use file explorer navigate to where you would like the shortcut, normally \Windows\StartMenu\Programs and select Edit from the Menu bar at the bottom of the screen and then select "Paste Shortcut" from the Edit Menu.
You will now have a shortcut called "Shortcut to [your file name]".
You may want to rename this to just [your file name], so tap and hold and select rename from the popup menu.

Many thanks for that, I guessed it might be that simple but just couldn't work it out. I'm sorted now.

Select more files (folders)

How select in Explorer, Total Commander...etc several file or folder traction stylus (drag drop)??
I know, that it goes setting register

In total Commander, use the icon CTRL that allow you to multi-select file : one click on a file does not deselect the file.
If you want to multi select with 'gesture', you must disable the scrolling gesture for this app. It should be in registry, but I don't know where.

I am "Ctrl A" or "Shift" apply
However gesture it is going throughout system
into 100% that is going switch registers system (I'm knew it, but has forgot)I Ctrl A or Shift use

Question for 6.5.x ROMs (Applications really)

So whenever I install an application, instead of going to my applications folder, it gets placed (dumped would be better put) into the Window's Home Screen. Is there a way I can move the applications into the "Application" folder which they're supposed to be in?

Indeed there is.
Open File Explorer [or Resco Explorer if you have it installed]
Go to "My Device" if you're not already there
Scroll to the "Windows" folder, open it
Wait for it to load, as it might take a few seconds
Scroll down to the "Start Menu" folder, open it
Now you should see two folders: Programs and Settings
Open Programs
Now, for the items you wish to put into your "Applications" folder, tap and HOLD the item so the context menu appears
Select "CUT"
NOW, open the "Applications" folder
Tap and HOLD on an empty area of the folder, and select Paste from the context menu
Repeat for all of the items you wish to move around
NOTE:: In case there is no empty space to tap on, simply tap the "Menu" button the Softkey area, and select paste.
Hope this helps.

picture folder widget

Would love to get one that I could set on a sceen to take me to the picture folder I want to view..
and or the folder where I have video's..
I want to use it for meetings.. so when I go in to one and show pictures of our production, I dont have to go in to Gallary and
let everyone see whats in there..
What would be perfect is a full screen of this widgets linking me to the sub-directries that I have setup with different artwork of different Clients..
I have been looking at different wiget programs but none have this ability as yet,well not that I have worked out..
Anyone found one or got any tips on this?

One option is to have a shortcut Folder set on your screen that launches a file manager and takes you directly to that folder.
The free app ES File Explorer will allow you to create a shortcut.
1. Install ES File Explorer.
2. Open the app and navigate to the folder you want to create as a shortcut.
3. Press & Hold on the folder, from the menu that pops up select 'Shortcut'.
4. Quit the app and when you go back to the last Home Screen you were on, providing there is enough space you will now notice a new icon with the title of the folder you selected.
From now on whenever you wish to show your clients the material simply click on the folder icon on your Home Screen and it will take you directly to ES File Explorer the folder with all the contents shown.
This last bit is important......
When you select the first item you will notice a small window will pop up asking you if you wish to choose ES File Explorer or the Gallery app to display your material... Choose ES File Explorer.
The reason is if you choose Gallery it will only display that one single item and you have to go back to ES File Explorer to show the next and so on....
By instead choosing ES File Explorer as the method to display the material it instead shows you not only the material but as the bottom you will also notice a small thumbnail of each of the pictures.
To display a different picture either swipe left/right or tap on the thumbnail.
Job done....

thanks Beards,
great advice..
I am using it plus Android picture frame.. that lets me set up 4 3x3 widgets that load into the file system as well..
plus yours.. gives me a neat screen of fast get too's for client visits..
which in my case can be up to 6-8 in a big day..
