Installing Desktop Shortcuts for TinyTERM

Question :

Is there a way to install a desktop shortcut for TinyTERM?

Answer :

There isn't one built into TinyTERM's install. However, you can create one manually.

The easiest way to do this is to click on Start | Programs | TinyTERM. Using your right mouse button from there, drag the "TinyTERM Emulator" icon out to the desktop. You'll get a popup menu. Select "Copy here" from that menu, and the shortcut will automatically be created.

You can also create the shortcut manually. Right-click on the desktop and select "New" from the popup menu, then "Shortcut". In the box labeled, "Type the location of the item:" enter the following:

"C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM\tt.exe" -PL3 default

Replace PL3 with the first three letters of your serial number. Replace default with the name of the .tpx configuration file you're using. The quotation marks and dash are required.

Click Next to enter a name for the shortcut. Click Finish, and the shortcut will appear on your desktop.
