Accessing Files Within Programs

 

OS : Windows 95/98/NT  

User Level : Intermed.  

 

For programs like QuickTime for Windows you can access certain 

files quicker rather than clicking open etc... Make a shortcut to the 

program on your desktop, or Start Menu, after the shortcut is made 

right click on the shortcut, and click on 'Properties'. Click the shortcut 

tab, and you'll see where the shortcut is pointing

(e.g.C:\WINDOWS\PLAYER32.EXE). After that you can write a file 

that was designed for that program (e.g. ) so you get something like

"C:\WINDOWS\PLAYER32.EXE" "C:\SAMPLE.MOV". Apply it, and

 viola! Every time you open that program, that file will open along with 

it! This works with more than QuickTime, you can do this with NotePad, 

WordPad, and TONS more applications! Try It!
