CREATE SYSTEM OBJECT SHORTCUTS You can create shortcuts to many parts of Windows 98 and copy them to toolbars and the Start menu, but some parts of Win98 are more rooted than others. For example, you may want to place a Control Panel icon on the Quick Launch toolbar. If you try dragging this system object out of the Start menu, it'll remain rooted to the spot. However, there's a way you can create a shortcut to this object: 1. Right-click the desktop and select New | Folder. 2. Rename the folder exactly as shown, including the full stop and the braces: Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} 3. Press [Enter] to commit to the change of folder name. The long code is the Class ID that keeps track of the Control Panel system object. Drag the folder to the Quick Launch toolbar to create a shortcut, and then delete the folder from the desktop. The shortcut points to the Class ID and so it remains functional, regardless of where you place it. By using the same technique, you can create shortcuts to other system objects as well. Maybe you want to create a new toolbar that contains these objects, or perhaps you want to place them in Network Neighborhood or on the desktop. To do so, you'll need to know which Class IDs to use. Here are some Class IDs for commonly created shortcuts: *
