help quick launch


Recommended Posts


Several ways, what method are you using to include foxit reader in your build?

Are you "simply" copying the files over to the drive during windows install or are you running an installer (like in svcpack)?

Also, do you want the reader to be a default for all users, or just there for the Admin logon?

The path you ultimately want to effect (or is it affect?) is:

"Documents and Settings\<users name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"

With a shortcut in that location, that points back to the location of your exe.

If this is ALWAYS the same (because you copied it there) you could create <and copy> a shortcut to the default user profile.

You could also run an INF file during install that would create the shortcut for you.

Which brings me to the final question; What ver of windows are you installing? 2k XP 2k3 vista???
