Right click in your desktop. Select CreateNew>Link to Application Fill in the details and choose an icon by clicking on the default icon. Alternatively if the application is already in your K menu, just open up the K menu and drag and drop out of the menu onto your desktop, or into your 'Quick Start' bar at the bottom left of your screen. If you want to put a menu entry into the K menu Open Mandrake Control Centre>System>Menus If you would like future applications to automatically put a menu item in for you, try to find a Mandrake RPM version of the application. For example Netscape7 is available as a Mandrake RPM from Texstar at ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/rpms Mandrake Club also has lots of popular applications as RPMs HTH derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
