Creating an icon in program manager

Issue

Creating an icon in program manager.

Solution

Within Program Manager, select the group that you wish the icon to be in, such as main (you can tell that it is selected because the top blue bar will be blue). Once the group has been selected, click File, New, and select Program Item.

Program Items dialog box

For the description, you fill in what you want your icon to be named; for example, Notepad. Where it says command line, this is where you are going to specify where the file is; so if you were creating a shortcut for Notepad, you would need to put in c:\windows\notepad.exe. If you do not know the path to your program, use the Browse button. Once the information is completed, click ok.
