Some times we’ll endup in having lots of shotcut icons on our desktop/quick launch toolbar. I was wondering how to reduce that since that looks very ugly for me to have long list of icons hanging on your quick launch bar.I was remembering that my room met was using some kind of utility to avoid this. After numerous trials i have got the answer back
Create the shortcuts for all of your application which you wanted to get rid of from quick launch,into a folder(In my case it’s “D:\Kumar\Shortcuts”). I have followed the other quciker work around whcih is having call names for all the applications . My list looks like the following. (i.e FF will call Firefox, EC will call Eclipse, ME will call to MyEclipse)
Now how do i make this work through my “RUN” command in windows.
Go to My Computers -> Properties -> Advanced -> Click in Environment Variables -> Change the System Variable “PATH” like the following..
So you are going to append your folder(”D:\Kumar\Shortcuts”) with the existing value in “PATH”. After this go to Run command and type “FF” it should be opening FireFox for you.
