Create a Shortcut Using Drag and Drop

Use this procedure to create a shortcut using drag and drop.

You must be able to view both Open Plan Explorer and Windows Explorer at the same time. You can easily do this by starting both programs and then right-clicking the Windows Taskbar and clicking Tile Windows Horizontally (or Vertically).

To create an application shortcut using drag and drop:

  1. In Windows Explorer, locate and select the application.
  2. Drag the application and drop it in the target Open Plan folder.
    Open Plan creates the application shortcut in the designated folder.
Note: You can copy Windows Desktop Shortcuts to Open Plan by selecting the shortcut and either using the cut/paste or drag/drop method described above. You can also drag the icon preceding the URL name in the address bar of Internet Explorer to the desired user-created folder.
