How can I create shortcut icons for programs I've installed on my Pocket PC?

Feb. 28, 2002 David Ciccone | Windows IT Pro

A. Synchronize your Pocket PC with your desktop, and leave the Pocket PC connected to the docking cradle. Go to My Computer on your desktop and click Mobile Device. Navigate to the program for which you want to create the shortcut, usually in Program Files. Right-click the program and select Create Shortcut. Right-click the shortcut and select Cut. Navigate to the \Windows\Start Menu folder under Mobile Device on your desktop, right-click anywhere inside the folder, and select Paste to paste the shortcut into the Pocket PC's Start menu. Tap Start on your Pocket PC device to ensure the new shortcut is available.
