To set up two shortcuts for an MS-DOS program

1.

Open My Computer

2.

Locate the MS-DOS-based program (.exe) file, the program information file (.pif), or the shortcut you want to change.

3.

Right-click the file and click Create Shortcut. Create two shortcuts to the MS-DOS program, and give each a distinct name. If a shortcut already exists, save the new one with a different name.

4.

For each shortcut you create, please refer to the documentation that came with the MS-DOS-based program for the appropriate settings to enter in the Properties dialog box.

Note

•

To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer.

•

Creating separate program information files (PIFs) for shortcuts to MS-DOS programs allows you to save different settings and formatting, which will automatically be used when you start the program from the shortcut.
