Help creating desktop shortcut to Firebird
I just got Firebird downloaded but how do I create a shortcut on my desktop? I was hoping (wink...wink) to just drag it over. Need complete steps.
Thanks. |
Which desktop environment?

Right-click on desktop. Select Create New, select Link to Application, select the Execute tab, browse to the MozillaFirebird location, and enter that file. Go back to the General tab and type in the name you want for the application - such as Firebird. Then you can click on the icon and give it the ball of fire associated with Firebird that's located in the directory /MozillaFirebird/icons/ - wherever that's located in your comp. |
Using KDE...Thanks. I was logged in as root but know logged in as coop. Should I still be able to find it? I seem to be having a tough time with the file manger. (She sure ain't Windows) but I am trying.

that you also installed it. Did you? If you haven't installed it, then you need to do that first. If you have installed it, then try this to find the file. When you get to the Execute tab following those instructions, click on the Browse... button out beside the address field, and that will let you browse to the location. Where did you install Firebird? If you downloaded it to your /home/<username> directory, it will probably be here -> /home/<username>/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird Whatever your normal user account is should be there in place of <username>, for instance, maybe it's /home/coop or whatever. |
