How to create a shortcut?

gmoney · 10-08-2003, 07:18 PM

Hi,

I recently install redhat 9, and I installed the instant messenger (I like it more than gaim), but in order to run it, I have to type /usr/bin/aim in the consol

I figured out how to make a shortcut on the desktop, but I want to place the shortcut on the panel, and it says it wont let me, because it is not an executable.

any ideas? thanks

Right-Click-->New-Launcher

Are you using Gnome?

Hi....

ok...do this....Click the main RH menu button....click 'Find Files' . Put 'aim' as the filename and search path as '/usr'. It will display u a list of locations where that file exists. Now just simply drag the 'aim' file to the desktop.....As soon as you release the mouse button, it will show u 3 options...move file, copy file or link....choose 'link' and your job is done.
