I googled the whole thing, but everyone says about how to add shortcut on desktop. I want to create a shortcut to folder in file manager but not creating shortcut on desktop. Desktop here means home screen of android. Do anybody knows how to create shortcut to file/folder except for home screen?

Does anyone know the .lnk for the Settings folder page? I dont need the one for the folder itself but the one to the regular page showing in icons view Hopefully someone out there understands what Im trying to ask for.

More specifically, is there a LNK that points to the Windows DEFAULT Settings folder, not the Manila Settings (which is HTCSettingsEntry.exe contained in settings.lnk in the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder).
I believe it's going to be something along the lines of ctlpnl.exe... but I can't find the solution.
Anyone???
Just create folder ''Settings'' in Windows\Start Menu folder - restart device and you will have Settings folder back in start menu.
I have installed a program which does not appear in Installed Programs.
To run it you have to tap an .exe file which is in a directory on the storage card.
Is there a way to create a shortcut and preferably an icon that I can add to the Programs page in the Touchflow.
TIA

I had the same issue (with Tomtom). I just made a short cut to the .exe in the folder the program was in, and moved that shortcut to Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs. I did this using Active sync.
Hi Gunther
I have just tried that however when I right click the .exe in file on the phone or in Active Sync I do not get the option to create a shortcut - just the Cut, Copy, rename, Delete etc.
Did you take a copy of the .exe file or find another way to do the shortcut?
Thanks
Paul
using File Explorer in your HTC Touch HD right click on the target and chose copy option
go to the destination folder right click again and chose pase shortcut
I am not having any joy. When I right click and copy the .exe file and then go to the Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs and then right Click again the option to paste as shortcut is greyed out. If I paste the .exe file then it appears as a program in the list of programs however it does not run.
The shortcuts are .lnk files. I presume they point to the .exe/program files location however I cannot open them to see what is inside.
Thanks everyone - I did it. Just went to the Start Menu and then used Menu - Paste shortcut.
If you've already got File Explorer installed, just install the file explorer extension.

Easiest way is to install Total Commander (file explorer program, google it) which has a create shortcut option. Then save the shortcut under Windows/Start Menu/Programs

you can do it using the normal file explorer, just copy what u want to link to and then go to the directory mentioned and choose paste shortcut

any advice would be great

I think you need to paste a shortcut rather than the exe itself
instead of choosing paste choose the option below called paste shortcut
your right the shortcut worked a treat thanks

Hi,
I have some programs, which after the installation, didn't create a shortcut icon.
Like iGo Primo for example.
I wonder if anyone knows a program or a way to create a shortcut in order to be able to put it on the manila shortcuts?
Thanks.
With file explorer, find .exe file, tap and hold, choose "Copy", go to:
Windows\Start menu\Programs
press Menu-Editing-Paste shortcut.
i'm also interested in Primo shortcut,there is not any other way,just copting the .exe in start menu?i tried with sktools but no luck..
You must make "Copy-Paste shortcut", not "Copy-Paste".
You can use File explorer or Resco explorer.

Hi,
I have Tom Photon ROM and from some reason I cannot make quick link to the "Games" folder.
I tried to do it the same way.. Copy a shortcut to "windows/start menu/programs"
but it didn't work..
Any ideas?
thanks.
Use path:
Windows\Start menu\Games
or create a folder named "Games" in
Windows\Start menu\Programs
have this folder, but it doesn't appear on the shortcuts options on the quick link.
I get this message:
"the file 'Games' cannot be opened. Either it is not
signed with trusted certificate, or one of its components
cannot be found. if the problem persists, try to reinstalling
or restoring this file"
I can't understand if you try to make a shortcut for an app or for a folder.
The folder appeared there already.
I tried also to do a shortcut.
The message I got was for the shortcut.
I cannot link to the folder.
Try to use the shortcut of the game you want.
I already had the "Games" folder.
and I created the shorcut to the folder.
When I try to use the shortcut in the quick links, I get the message above.
Thanks.
I think that you have to use the shortcut of each game, not the folder's one.
Well..
Now that we have 16 shcts, I can afford it..
Thanks any way..
New project!
I want a wifi quick link (for the shcts).
Does anyone know a program that makes this shortcut?
Thanks.

When I create a shortcut on my homescreen where is that file located in the android filesystem? I have been searching all of the directories and cannot locate them.
