Open File Pane

How do you add a "Favorite Icon" to the left side of the Open File Pane.

Its not available in any of the links or favorites folders, I know you need
to type in an "app" line to do this, can't remember what it is???

Thanks
Joe

Re: Open File Pane

If you mean adding a shortcut to that upper left set of links just drag and
drop it there.

Re: Open File Pane

Hi richard
Thanks for the reply, no the drag and drop doesnt work for this...
When you "Open File" panel on the left side if about 5 icons you can select
to open.
To add an Icon there you have to type in an "app line" to allow you to do
this..
I want to add an ICON shortcut on the left side of the Open File Panel...

Thanks a lot...
Joe

Re: Open File Pane

Have you tried puting a shortcut to the LINKs file in your user directory
(c:\users\[your name]\links)? On my system, thats where the shortcuts those
icons represent reside.
