Program:   Blue*Star

Win*Star Tip by Frank Piechoski

Some people may still be using Blue*Star in Windows 95. To make it easier to access Blue*Star form your Windows 95 Desktop all you have to do is create a Shortcut. Here is how you can create a Shortcut:

1. With your mouse pointer anywhere on your Desktop, but NOT on another Icon, click the RIGHT mouse button ONE time. This will open a small menu.
2. Move down to the word NEW and it will automatically open another menu.
3. Move to the word SHORTCUT and click the LEFT mouse button ONE time. This will put you in a window called CREATE SHORTCUT.
4. At the command line type in: C:\BSTAR\RUN.BAT and then press the NEXT button. This will put you in a window called SELECT A TITLE FOR THE PROGRAM.
5. Type in any name you want as the Icon Title and then press the NEXT button. This will put you in a window called SELECT AN ICON.
6. You can choose any Icon you want. Just DOUBLE CLICK the LEFT mouse button on any Icon.

This will create an Icon on your Desktop. Just DOUBLE CLICK the LEFT mouse button on the new Icon and it will take you to your program.

Happy Computing!     - Frank Piechoski
