LOGO-L> Re: Running MSW Logo on a school network

[George Mills <mills@softronix.com>]

Modify the "Start in" directory on the MSWLogo shortcut.

If you already have a shortcut on the desktop then:

Right Click on MSWLogo shortcut.
Choose shortcut tab.
Enter the path in the "Start in" box.

If your shortcut for MSWLogo is on the Start Menu then:

Click Start
Choose Settings
Choose Taskbar
Choose Start Menu Programs Tab
Choose Advanced
Choose MSWLogo folder (in left panel of explorer)
Right Click on MSWLogo shortcut (in right panel of explorer)
Follow directions above for short cut on desktop.

While your there you might want to Right Click on the MSWLogo
shortcut and drag it to the desktop and choose "Copy Shortcut".
Always use Right Click when dragging "Shortcuts" around.
LeftClick drag will sometimes move it rather than copy it
depending on the context your in.

You can have multiple shortcuts for multiple "Start In" directories
(i.e ones for different students or different classes). Or you could
even set it to A:\
