Three shortcuts. Three functions
Is it time to read news, or is it time to check mail?
Or is it the time to checkout the cool site of the day?
Well, whatever you feel like doing, you might find it
easier to have three Netscape icons that takes you
directly to the function you want to perform.
- Create two copies of the Netscape Navigator
shortcut (icon) in your Netscape Navigator folder
or group (Explorer / Program Manager).
- Go to the properties (select the shortcut/icon
and press ALT+ENTER)
of the first copy and append " -mail"
(without the quotes) to the target (known as
"command line" in Windows 3.x).
For example, if your target is set to ""C:\Program
Files\Netscape\Program\Netscape.exe""
change it to ""C:\Program
Files\Netscape\Program\Netscape.exe" -mail"
You might also want to change the title (or the
description) of this icon to "Netscape
Mail" for easy identification.
- Finally, go to the second copy and repeat step
#2. However, this time use " -news"
instead of " -mail"
For example, if your target is set to ""C:\Program
Files\Netscape\Program\Netscape.exe""
change it to ""C:\Program
Files\Netscape\Program\Netscape.exe" -news"
Again, you might also want to change the title
(or the description) of this icon to
"Netscape News" for easy
identification.
