Right click on Apps and select New—Object

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Choose App: Application and click OK

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Choose Manually and click Next

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Name the object (ex: CD Rom)

Browse to explorer.exe in the “Path to executable” field

Check the box next to “Display details after creation”

Click Finish

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Click on the Run Options tab

In the “Parameters” field, type D:

These same steps will also work with making a shortcut to a folder.  Instead of typing D: in the Parameters field, you would type the path to that folder.
