Shortcuts

[mattca]

Hi

I have a couple of questions, probably related.

I'm using OS 3.1, and as a beginner I've made a right mess of my hard disk  :roll:

Rather than reinstalling everything (still learning!) is there an Amiga equivalent to Windows' "Shortcuts"?  Because some of my programs are installed deep in the filesystem and it would be nice to have my most frequently used programs available on the desktop (or maybe even something like a Start Menu).

Also, I'd like to run a couple of things at startup, AmiTCP/IP for definite.  Should I find out about the Startup-Preferences script or is that not what I think it is?  I'm guessing it's an equivalent to config.sys/autoexec.bat on DOS systems...

use 'Icons/Leave Out'

I'll never get used to the terminology on this OS.  15 years of Windows has made me think that sounds wrong but it makes sense to leave the icon out of the drawer...  Then the Clean Up option begins to make sense too!  Thanky

edit:  no it doesn't, I thought the CleanUp option would tidy away all the icons I left out.  Definitely need to read that thick white book that came with the Amiga  ;-)

I'll probably try those utils that edit the Tools menu, but since I'm still having trouble installing Voyager I better wait a while  :crazy:
