Creating a Shortcut
You may want to save a connection to a particular PC for easy single-click access
in the future. This single-click access is called a shortcut, and can be accessed as
an icon in your Windows program group, or as a Windows 95 shortcut.
To create a shortcut:
1 Select or enter an IPX or IP host name in the Host Workstation field.
2 Click
Create Shortcut
.
3 You will be asked if you want to create a shortcut.
Click
Yes
.

You can now connect to the selected host using the Proxy icon in the
Windows program group or using a Windows 95 shortcut.
NOTE: To change the program manager group in which to create
shortcuts, use the Preferences dialog.
Shortcut Formats
When you create a shortcut, you are creating a special command line string to run
Proxy. These strings are formatted to instruct PROXY.EXE on which station to
connect to using the protocol, address and host station name in the command
line.
You may optionally construct shortcuts manually. For more information on
doing this, see the “Tips and Techniques” section.
