Hi all,
Ive had my Pocket PC for a few weeks now and am getting familiar with it as its my first.
I have been trying to create shortcuts to the desktop for certain programs but it seems to me that you cannot. I know there are programe out there that will allow you to do this but I would like one that creates shortcuts that look like the current ones (ie. Appointments, Calender etc)

Can anyone help

Thanks

Spb Pocket Plus will do that (among other things) :

Thankyou,
I tried something similar but wasnt happy with it as it created shortcuts for ALL your programs to Desktop only, you couldnt choose which program you wanted on your Desktop. Also I found the program I used slowed down th pocket pc aswell especially with the battery meter etc running. Ill give this one a try

cheers again

You may also be interested in iLauncher (http://www.sbsh.net/products/ilauncher2/) or cLaunch (http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~welic/claunch.html).

I find Scott Seligmans Launcher still one of the smallest and fastest out there. Totally free too. I also use his PocketNAV, one of the oldest PPC apps still going strong:

If all you need to do is create shortcuts (in your Programs folder), you can use vxShortCut (http://www.cam.com/vxshortcut.html) (free).
