Use Windows 2000 shortcuts

When we save files, we love to classify them and save them to different folders. The data folder, image folder, Program folder, and so on. If it is subdivided, it will be more.
Sometimes, a common folder is hidden deep and it is not easy to open it. The most common solution is to create a shortcut for this folder on the desktop. However, after a long time, the desktop is full of various shortcuts, but it is not convenient to find them. Next, I will introduce several common methods to see if they can help you.

Use the Active Desktop Function

First, you need to create one or several HTML files and link all commonly used folders to this file. You can dress up your webpage as you like. If you are not beautiful, you can see your level!

If it is too difficult to beautify the web page, enter the names of commonly used folders one by one, and then link these names to their corresponding folders. We recommend that you use the foldable outline feature in the project symbols and numbers provided by Microsoft FrontPage 2000.

Right-click the desktop, select "Active Desktop-> Create desktop project", enter the path of the HTML file you just created, or click "Browse, find and select the file. After clicking "OK", a small window is displayed on the desktop, which contains the HTML file just designed.

Now you can change the window size. Move the mouse over the window and four small buttons will appear. Click the inverted triangle button on the leftmost side and select "Overwrite desktop" in the pop-up menu. The window will be displayed in full screen. If you select "Use the icon to split the desktop", this window will occupy most of the desktops except the desktop icon (of course, you can also manually adjust the size of this window ). The other three buttons are "full screen display", "split desktop with icons", and "close.

When using full screen display, it is best to hide all the icons on the desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, you will see a "show desktop icon" under "Active Desktop", and click Remove the front of it.

Use the system task Toolbar

By default, only the Quick Start bar is displayed on the taskbar, and the desktop, address, and link toolbar are available. You can drag frequently used folders and programs to the taskbar to create a shortcut. However, it is recommended that you create a new folder on drive D, which can be named "system Taskbar" and put all the folders and shortcuts of common programs in this folder, right-click the taskbar, choose toolbar> new toolbar, select system taskbar, and click OK. The toolbar appears on the taskbar. By default, the icons, text, and titles of the new toolbar are displayed. However, you can only display the icon by right-clicking on the taskbar and removing the front check boxes of "show title" and "show text. We recommend that you only create shortcuts for folders and programs in the taskbar, instead of shortcuts for common documents.

Use the Start Menu

After installing a software, there will be one or several shortcuts to the software in the "program" sub-menu in the "Start" menu. If you do not sort the software, it will be a mess.

My solution is to create a folder named "complete program" in the "Start" menu, and move the shortcuts of all software to this folder intact. Create Several folders to save shortcuts for common programs, common documents, and system tools. In Windows 2000, the Start Menu supports shortcut drag and delete operations.

Other shortcuts

Whether in the "Start" menu or on the desktop, the created shortcut always automatically adds the "shortcut" to the name. I don't think everyone would like the system to do this? Let's stop it!

Open the registry, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer, modify the binary value "link" in the window on the right, and set its value to "00 00 00 ". Note: to use this method, you need to restart the computer.

There is a small arrow in the lower left corner of each shortcut. If you do not like it, you can also remove it.

Some friends use the method of changing the Icon size to hide the small arrow of the shortcut. However, after this, the icon looks a bit blurred, which is not the best method. Let's open the registry, open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTlnkfile, and create a new string value named "IsShortcut" on the right. The value is null. Note: This operation takes effect only after the computer is restarted.

Windows 2000 also adds a very practical feature for shortcuts, that is, we can add a short prompt for each shortcut. Method: Right-click the shortcut, select "properties", and enter the prompt information in the bottom remarks column of the "properties" window. In Windows 98, It is very troublesome to implement this function. In Windows 2000, it is very simple.

When you write an email, do you always open Outlook Express and then click "new email" to create an email? In fact, you don't have to worry about this. We can create a shortcut for writing new emails. We recommend that you create this shortcut in the Start Menu. The procedure is as follows:

Right-click the Start menu and choose open from the shortcut menu. Right-click the window and choose new> shortcut ", enter "mailto:" in the "Enter the project location" box, click "Next", and enter "new mail" in the "Enter the shortcut name" box ", click Finish. You can click this shortcut to create a new email.

If you often send emails to a friend, you can create a shortcut for the friend. The method is similar to the one mentioned above. For example, if your friend's email address is "eschool@enet.com.cn", enter "mailto: eschool@enet.com.cn" in the "Enter the location of the project" box, and the remaining steps remain unchanged.
