Suppose, just for a moment, that you don’t have Square One, the program-launching pad included with this book. And suppose that you don’t even have System 7.5’s Launcher. Yet you want a quick, easy way to access and open your favorite programs and most frequently used files. Here’s how you can build your own poor-man’s DragStrip.
Make a new folder on your desktop and title it Launcher. Make it tall and skinny, and drag it to the left edge of your screen. From the View menu, choose By Name.
Now make aliases of the programs and documents you use most often, and drag them into this window. The result: a handy program launcher that’s always open on your screen (see Figure 1-31).
What’s especially nice is that you can drag a document icon on top of any of these listed programs’ icons for quick and easy launching.
