  1. How can I create shortcuts, single or multiple?


    In previous iterations, it was: go to a folder, select one or more files or shortcuts, press Ctrl-C, go to the new folder, press Shift-Ctrl-V. Is that correct? Does that sequence still work? The instructions I have found for Windows 11 suggest a more complicated sequence.

    :)

  2. create a single shortcut to multiple computers

    More details required, i.e.

    • Is it a single file or multiple files? Or whole folders?
    • Same files each time?
    • Same files for each PC?
    • Same share names on each PC?
    • Do you know their NetBIOS names?

  3. create a single shortcut to multiple computers

    I have shared folders on multiple pc's all win10. I want to create a single shortcut to update files on all the pc's simultaneously. So far using networks drives or shared folders, I still have to update each pc separately, one after the other. Thanks

    How can I create shortcuts, single or multiple?

    Is it possible to make a shortcut that opens multiple applications at the same time?

    Hi tomi234234234,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    That cannot be done with a shortcut alone, but you can create a batch file listing the application paths and then create a shortcut to that batch file, the steps are on this link:
