<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm sure there's a way using Tools api thingie,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But I have resorted to two methods, one is calling an exe from Tools,
that I've made myself that lets me drag and drop shortcuts on to it and
it remembers them under categories for launching later - <U>very
simplistic </U>but effective and hopefully some what future proofs me - you
can have the code if you want it - only made it for myself in D4 days so it is
very simple.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The second more immeadiate solution is to create batch files(!) and you
can add these to the </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> MENU: tools/ configigure tools BUTTONS: Add
/ Browse</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Obvious but worth mentioning: - change the file filter to *.*</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've got one called "win32.bat" and all that is in it is </DIV>
