Windows allows users to place shortcuts on the Quick Launch bar on the bottom left side of the taskbar. By default, InstallShield does not provide a Quick Launch folder under the Shortcuts view to allow the creation of shortcuts on the target machine's Quick Launch bar. However, there is a way to do it manually. Once you create the folder, you can place your shortcut there. To configure the shortcut under the Shortcuts view, follow these instructions.
- Select the Shortcuts view under System Configuration.
- Select the Shortcuts node in the middle pane.
- Right-click and select the Show Folder option from the context menu.
- Select [AppDataFolder] from the list of predefined folders. This adds [AppDataFolder]directly under the Shortcuts node.
- Select [AppDataFolder].
- Right-click and select New Folder.
- Rename the folder to Microsoft.
- Continue to create the following folder structure under the Microsoft folder:
\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
Once you are done you should have the following folder structure:
[AppDataFolder]\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
- Create your application shortcut under the Quick Launch folder.
