Changing Program Item Properties

The installation program automatically creates a Progress program group comprised of program items. You can edit the icons to change item properties like startup parameters and working directories.

  1. From the desktop, right-click the Start button.
  2. From the pop-up menu, choose one of the following:
    • Open All Users (Windows NT and Windows 2000 operating systems)
    • Open (Windows 98 and Citrix operating systems)
    • A dialog box that lists all programs in the Start menu appears.

  3. Double-click Programs, then double-click Progress.
  4. Select a Progress program item, and right-click.
  5. Choose Properties for the pop-up menu.
  6. Select the Shortcut tab. The shortcut properties appear:
  7. Change the Target and Start in fields to include the startup parameters and working directory appropriate for your installation.
  8. Choose OK.

Table A–1 shows the Progress program group components, icon names, and the command you use to start each component. Note that the installation program automatically includes these commands in your installation path. Note also that \DLC corresponds to your Progress installation path.
