Quick Access To Your Notes Information From The Desktop

Quick Access To Your Notes Information From The Desktop

Every wish you had quick access to a specific Notes document or need to access
the same record again and again? How about doing it in a double-click directly
from the desktop? Notes and the Desktop (at least Windows 32 bit flavors) are
drag-and-drop friendly. Click and hold on a document in a view or a database
icon, drag your cursor out to the desktop, release, and there is a link
directly to that item. And Notes doesn't even have to be running. The link is
labelled "Document Shortcut" but you can easily change that to something that's
descriptive.

So, for that database you have buried on your 3rd, or was it 4th?, tab that you
need to work on this week, just drag a link out. For that Help record you refer
to all the time, just drag out a link.

And links (like other files on the desktop or anywhere in your file system) can
be dragged back into any Notes rich text field, where (at least in 4.6x) they
get the Notes file icon and the name of the database they link to (whether its
a document or database link). And they work as links.
