Alias Launching Tricks

You can now do some special stuff with aliases.

Customize the Appearance:

You can customize the text that gets displayed with each entry by prefacing custom text with |

For example:

Play Solitaire | c:\program files\games\solit.exe

File Window Options:

You can customize the way programs are launching by adding one of a few optional window modifiers to the very end of your file specification:

/WINMAX

/WINMIN

/WINHID

/CLOSEAFTER (force farr window to close after launching even if not set to by deafult)

/STAYOPEN (dont close farr window after launching)

/ICON=localfilename_from_aliasdir.ico (icon file must be in same dir as alias file)

For example:

Play Solitaire | c:\program files\games\solit.exe /WINMAX

You can now specify multiple programs to launch within one alias my separating them with ;;;
