 | | What's a shortcut?) In earlier versions of Windows, you were able to create a desktop shortcut for an application simply by dragging the application from its own directory to the Windows desktop. |
 | | You must also create a desktop shortcut for the DOS prompt or for your batch file; and you must enable EMS memory for DOS prompts; and you must enable expanded memory in each shortcut that you create. |
 | | Under Windows NT, 2000, and XP, a desktop shortcut for a DOS program cannot be launched from the hotkey assigned to the shortcut, although the assigned hotkey can be used to switch to a DOS program that is already running. |
