Problem:
Shortcut to Netscape doesn't move application to desired position.
Status:
problem will be fixed in the next release. Other applications using the MFC libraries may be affected as well.
Workaround:
- open the shortcut (.vbs file) to Netscape in a text editor, for example Notepad
- at the beginning of the file, change the following values:
- set p_wndClass to ""
- set p_wndTitle to the title displayed when Netscape starts
- set p_wndFlags to 1
This should look something like this:
p_wndClass = ""
p_wndTitle = "My Start Page - Netscape"
p_wndFlags = 1
================================================
Following is a detailed explanation of how to get a shortcut to ICQ to work:
- download ICQ.vbs and save it to your shortcuts directory. On Windows 2000, the shortcuts directory is usually 'C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\2.0\Shortcuts', on Windows 98/Me, it is 'C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\2.0\Shortcuts'.
Please note that 'Application Data' is a hidden folder, to see it you need to select 'Show hidden files and folders' in Folder Options.
- select 'Shortcuts -> Edit' from the UltraMon menu
- on the shortcut dialog, click the Open button and open ICQ.vbs
- now click Browse and select ICQ.exe, which is usually installed in C:\Program Files\ICQ
- next, set the settings for the ICQ window: make sure ICQ is running, then select it with the crosshair to get the current settings. To change the position, change the Left and Top coordinates. Note that changes won't be applied immediately.
An example: ICQ is located on the right side of the primary monitor. You want it in the same location, but on the second monitor. If the second monitor is to the right of the primary monitor, simply add the horizontal resolution of the second monitor to Left.
- finally, click Save to save your changes to ICQ.vbs
You can now start ICQ from the UltraMon menu by choosing Shortcuts -> ICQ. If you want an additional shortcut to ICQ in a different location, say on the desktop, select Shortcuts -> Edit from the UltraMon menu, open ICQ.vbs, click 'Save As', choose 'save as Windows shortcut' and save it in the location of your choice.
