3.4.8 Shortcuts

When you add a program to the Start menu or any submenu on the Start menu (usually the Programs menu), you are actually adding a shortcut to the program. The original item exists on the hard disk. Shortcuts on the Start menu provide quick access to your programs and files, and you can organize shortcuts to suit your needs. You can easily add, delete, move, or rename shortcuts on the Start menu and any submenus. You can accomplish most of these tasks directly from the desktop:

You can drag any shortcut icon to the Start button, and then to the location where you want it to appear in the Start menu.

You can drag a shortcut directly from the Start button to any location on your desktop. If you want to remove a shortcut, drag it to the Recycle Bin. The original item will still exist on the disk.

You can rename a shortcut directly on the Start menu by right-clicking the shortcut, clicking Rename, and then typing the new name in the Rename dialog box.

If you want to change the order of shortcuts and folders on the Start menu, you can drag items to different locations using Windows Explorer or the desktop.

To put a shortcut on the desktop

Open Windows Explorer.

Click the item, such as a file, program, folder, printer, or computer, for which you want to create a shortcut.

On the File menu, click Create Shortcut.

Drag the shortcut icon from Windows Explorer onto the desktop.

Notes: To open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.

You can use the shortcut as a fast way to open the item.

To change any settings for the shortcut, such as the kind of window it starts in or the key combination that opens it, right-click the shortcut, and then click Properties.

When you delete a shortcut, the original item still exists on the disk.

You can also drag the item to the desktop with the right mouse button, and then click Create Shortcut(s) Here. 

3.4.11 High performance multimedia

Windows 98 makes your computer more entertaining by introducing new features such as enhanced television, video playback, and support for new hardware. These enhancements provide you with hours of fun. Windows 98 includes WebTV for Windows, a feature that combines broadcast and Internet-based content to deliver previously unavailable entertainment possibilities. If you have an Internet connection, you can receive and view searchable television program listings. The Program Guide continuously lists scheduled television shows and allows you to instantly tune in to shows on your computer. With a TV tuner card installed, your computer can receive and display television distributed over normal broadcast networks and cable systems. Additionally, you can receive Internet content or other broadcast data without tying up your phone line

Using WebTV for Windows, your computer can display both standard and broadcasts. With it, you can receive:

1. Standard television broadcasts.

2. Interactive television broadcasts.

3. Internet content and other data delivered over broadcast networks.

With an Internet connection but no TV tuner card, you can receive:

1. TV program listings downloaded from a Web site and displayed in the WebTV for Windows on-screen.

2. If you have an internal corporate network connection but no TV tuner card or Internet connection, your computer can still receive video and other information delivered over corporate networks

Note: - If you are upgrading to Microsoft Windows 98 and already have an All-In-Wonder or All-In-Wonder Pro display adapter from ATI Technologies installed in your computer, the drivers for your TV tuner card might be unable to support the viewing of television broadcasts. You can correct this by updating the drivers for your display adapter
