From: Scott <Pieman at Chunderpot dot com> Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2005 09:58:54 -0500This has probably been asked and answere before - sorry - but could someone help me out? Once I've started X, I wish to have icons I can click on to start up X applications via commands I devise myself, for example, custom xterms or emacs windows on various nodes using ssh. I know the commands to do what I want, just need to know how to embed them in a DOS script that I can click on. ("toolbar" is not adequate to my needs.) Embedding in a DOS script seems the obvious way to make clickable icons to start X applications, maybe there is another. Could someone help me out? Thanks! Scott
Ty installing the package "X-start-menu-icons", which adds a bunch of pre-made shortcuts for commonly used X apps to your Windows Start menu. You should be able to look at the properties of the shortcuts to see how they work. I think you will find that in most cases, you don't even need a BAT file, but can simply specify everything you need in the Target field of the Windows shortcut.
