So, how do you create shortcuts to an application on Windows Mobile? There are two answers:

a) The Windows way:

1. “Long” click the item until you get a menu. Select copy.
2. Goto the desired location.
3. Press Menu, Edit of “long click” a free area and in both cases select “Paste as Link”.

b) The manual way

1. Determine the full path and name of the program by inspecting the program itself and the View menu at the top of File Explorer.
2. Create (on your PC or in a text editor on your phone) a file with desiredname.lnk
3. Type in the full path and name of the program.
4. Count all letters.
5. Put the number up front on the line and add a “#” (hash) separator
6. Save the file.

Example:

41#\Storage Card\Program Files\bin\PuTTY.exe

Created inthe file PuTTY.lnk in the folder \Windows\Stert Menu\Applications would make PuTTY be selectable from the Applications menu on your handheld.
