Hi,
I had iGO8 installed on my old Nike. I just put the SD Card into the Mini and the program just runs fine. But I have to open it through Explorer, which is annoying. How can I create a shortcut in the Start Menu without reinstalling it?
Thanks
copy IGO8 from sdcart
navigate to folder
windows/menuen start/programmer *my device is in danish*
so i think your is somthing like:
windows/start menu/programs
paste your copy of IGO8 here as a schurtcut
Thanks, I just didn't realize, that copy-paste might mean "paste a shortcut".

Using your file explorer on your HD, browse to the location where you installed iGo8, i.e. /program files/iGo8 or storage card/program files/iGo8
Create shortcut of .exe file. Copy this file and put it into /windows/start menu/programs
Now when you go to Start menu your icon should appear
here's where the iGo is
Storage card / iGO8 and inside it all of the maps and content
i copied the iGO8.exe and put it in
MyDevice/ windows/start menu/programs
it shows in start menu but when i clicked it it build two files in the start menu " saved" and " custom" and also it didn't work
did i do something wrong?

Don't copy the iGO8.exe file, create a shortcut to it and copy the shortcut to /windows/start menu/programs

I have just installed tomtom 7 and the program has not created in program icon so if i want to launch it i need to go into my sd card and click on the icon in there,, is there a way i can copy and paste the icon into where the program icons show up ?? if i can how can i do it and also find the folder ?
If you use File Explorer and long click on the .exe file on your storage card you should be able to select copy. Then go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs (if you want to add it to a particular subfolder you can do that) and paste the link as a Shortcut (to do this scroll to the bottom of the folder, long click and from the popup select Paste as Shortcut). That way the icon will be available in your Start Menu.
thank you worked a treat..

I installed a program in the storage card, but nowhere I can find the program icon. So everytime I have to open file explorer to run the exe file. How to make a quick link so it can be shown in the quick link tabs? When I tried to add, it's not listed in the programs to choose.
Also, when I install games, the shortcuts either be under start UI or under start\games. I want to move the games shortcuts in start to start/games, how can I do it?
Thanks.
Just copy the .exe (using explorer) and paste a shortcut to Windows/Start Menu/Programs for your apps or Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games for your games.

Thanks a lot! That works!
Ok. so I copied a shortcut of a folder from my SD to the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. The folder contains all my movies, and my plan was to put the folder shortcut from the programs on the quick links on the home page. But i ran into a problem, when i try to open the the shortcut by pressing the windows start button, scrolling to it and click it, it gives me this error message' "the file 'folder shortcut' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling tor restoring the file."
Its weird cause when i go to file explorer and follow the path \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and click on the folder shortcut it opens and takes me right to the files. Anyone else encountered this? I spent like 4 hours today with my phone trying different things, and about 3 just now surving the web and here and cant find anything.
I have the TMOUS version of the HD2 and the transformers movies are located on the SD card and i can access them through the Start programs on the home screen. Any help would be appriciated, Im really stuck. Thanks in advanced

Thanks for the info samsamuel, exactly what i needed. After reading the link i did some more research, and got it working perfectly. For anyone else intrested here are the steps to get a folder shortcut from your SD card to open in the programs area:
To make a shortcut on the start menu of a folder on the Storage card do these following steps:
1. Open up notepad on your computer
2. type in the command line (no quotes) “35#\Windows\fexplore.exe \Storage Card\’Folder Name’ ”
3. Replace “Folder Name” with the name of the folder in the Storage card you want the short cut to go to.
4. Click “save as” and name the file “whatever you want.lnk” (L lower case not I)
5. Copy The file to your phone, then to “windows\start menu\programs”
6. And your done!
Thanks again for your help
I love this app and have intalled it onto my storage card in a folder where i keep all my .cab files, my only prblem is that i cant see it when i look for it in my programs, i,m wanting to put it as a quick link but cant? The only way i can run it is by going into file explorer and then storage card and then i the app folder i created and running it from there, where am i going wrong guys? help needed cheers
simple
go in file explorer to the file on sd card. tap and hold. click copy from the menu that appears.
open device\windows\start menu\programs and select there
(bottom screen) menu > edit > paste shortcut
rename the shortcut if you like
now you can select the file from start programs or assign it to a quick-link button.
BRILLIANT!!!
