Setting Up Status-Area Icon Menu Items

You can add or edit commands in a custom shortcut menu that appears after a user right-clicks the status-area icon associated with a service profile.

The following options are available:

Shortcut menu item name. Type the name you want the program to have in the shortcut menu.

Tip

You can add keyboard access to a shortcut-menu item. Specify an underlined letter in the menu item name as an access key. To create the access key, type an ampersand (&) immediately preceding the letter you want to use. For example, to add Internet Explorer as a menu item name with I specified as the access key, type &Internet Explorer in the Shortcut menu item name box. To include the ampersand (&) character in the menu item name, type &&. One ampersand will appear in the menu.

Program to run. Type or browse to the program file name you want to run.
Parameters. Type any command-line parameters you want executed with the program. You cannot specify parameters for optional files such as connect-action programs.
Include this program in the service profile. If the program you want to run is not part of the standard Windows 95 and Windows NT operating systems, you can include it in your service profile. When the user installs Connection Manager, the service profile copies the program to the Connection Manager folder.
