In this session, we are going to explain what a desktop shortcut is, the benefits of a desktop shortcut and go through the steps involved in creating a desktop shortcut for your MYOB data file.
A desktop shortcut is a small file on the desktop of homepage of your computer monitor that points directly to a particular location.
In today’s scenario, it will point directly at an MYOB data file and will be programmed to open the MYOB data file with the appropriate MYOB software.
An MYOB desktop shortcut is a time saving and convenient way to access the MYOB data file. Now, clearly label the MYOB shortcut. Eliminate some possible confusion because when a business runs multiple data file, you don’t want to open up an old data file and accidentally be working on that all day.
An MYOB desktop shortcut allows you to work smarter and faster. There are actually several ways you can create a data file desktop shortcut. I’m going to take you through step by step but I consider it to be the simplest method I know and hopefully you’ll be able to copy it.
The instructions will include the use of the mouse buttons. Continuously calling out left, click on right click, may well be a little confusing. I asked you to remember that the left click of the mouse button normally refers to selecting or choosing something and the right click of the mouse button normally brings up a small context sensitive menu. Okay. Let’s start.
The steps for creating an MYOB data file shortcut arte as follows. Locate MYOB data file. Create shortcut of the MYOB data file. Rename the MYOB data file shortcut. Test if the shortcut works.
To start with, you would need to know where the MYOB data file is located. Right down on your note pad the file extension of the MYOB data file so you can easily locate it fro this exercise.
My MYOB data file is stored on the C drive under ‘My Business-Finance Directory’. Click on the start menu, my documents. I then look under C drive, business, finance, and there’s my MYOB data file, yours however maybe in a different area.
I have called my MYOB data file ‘Swan’ to make it very easy for you to identify.
