(Archived) EN 5 Note Shortcut for Windows 7 Desktop (yet another shortcut discussion)

[Anonymous11235813 0]

Hi All,

 

I'd like to add a shortcut to a specific note to my Windows 7 desktop.  I have tried to "Copy Note Link," but when I right-click on my Windows 7 desktop the "Paste Shortcut" option is grayed out.

 

I believe I was able to successfully do this prior to updating to EN5 but I may be wrong.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks so much!

On Windows 8 desktop,  my right click menu is the same - 'paste shortcut' is greyed out.  Can't remember whether that's always been the case,  but it is possible to choose New > Shortcut which pops up a dialogue box asking for the URL of the link which you can then paste and name the shortcut...
