You Can Add External Program Files or Application Shortcuts to Your Favourites Menu…
Did you know you can add external program files or application shortcuts directly into your Opera 3 Favourites menu?
If you regularly use external files (like Excel reports) alongside Opera 3, you can make life easier by opening them straight from within Opera 3.
Keep all your essential files just one click away inside Opera 3!
Anything you add to your Favourites is user specific.
How to add files to your favourites
- Right-click any Opera 3 menu heading (e.g. Supply Chain Management).
- Select ‘Add New Application Shortcut to Favourites’.
- In the form that appears:
– Use the ellipsis (…) button to navigate to your file.
– By default, Opera looks for applications, but if you want to link a file (like an Excel report), change the dropdown to ‘All Files (*.*)‘.
- Select the file you wish to add.
- Choose a Group Name or type a new one.
- (Optional) Change the file’s display name.
- (Optional) Select an alternative icon (otherwise Opera 3 will use the standard icon).
Example below:
- Click OK – your shortcut will now appear in the Favourites menu.
Using Your Shortcut
- To open your file: simply click it from the Favourites menu.
- To remove it: right-click the icon and select ‘Remove’.
