How do I create a shortcut of the Application files to a Desktop?

Updated over a month ago

The process to create a shortcut of your program icons to the desktop of the local computer is as follows:

  1. All users are to close all HandiSoft programs

  2. Open the Hsoft\Apps folder on the server (if networked) or the local drive the program has been installed on (if a single user)

  3. Sort the files by Type

  4. Under the Type column scroll down to the Applications

  5. Locate and right-click on the program you require the icon to appear on your desktop (for example HandiTax 2024 will be Ht24.exe for ODB and Ht24Sql.exe for SQL)

  6. Go to Send to, Desktop (create shortcut)

  7. Locate the shortcut on the desktop, right-click and rename the shortcut (example from Ht24.exe shortcut to HandiTax2024)
