To create a shortcut to the notepad.exe in \Windows\SendTo folder, simply
  • Click Start, select Programs and start Windows Explore
  • Then select the \Windows\SendTo folder
  • Now, right-click an empty space in the folder, and from the context menu, choose New > Shortcut
  • In the Create Shortcut window, enter C:\Windows\Notepad.exe in the Command line box
  • Now click Next
  • At this point, you should remove the .exe from Notepad.exe in the Select a name for the shortcut box
  • Finally, click Finish
You will now have the option of viewing file contents by right-clicking the file and 'sending' it to Notepad

One last note: If there is another drive in which Windows is installed, or in another directory, then you'll need to replace the C:\Windows\ with the appropriate path.


 

Use Win 3.x Interface With Win95

To use the Win 3.x inteface with Win95, go to the Root Directory ( C:\Windows ) and double-click Progman.exe...you will then have Windows95 ( or Win98 ) running under the Windows 3.x interface.


 

Find Desktop Icons

To find other icons, look in ( C:\Windows\Moricons.dll ) by right-clicking any shortcut and selecting Properties from the pop-up menu and then click on the Shortcut tab. Now, click on the Change Icon button and look through the .ICO, .DLL, and .EXE files.

  • Choose the Device Manager tab
  • Now click on the + sign to the left of the CDROM entry and then select the entry for your CD-Rom drive

  • At this point, you can uncheck the Auto insert notification box
  • Then, click OK and then OK once again. Now, you need to restart Windows for this setting change to take effect
