Open Faovrite Files with Favorite Office Program

[rajkohli]

As we know that XLSTART folder can be used to open your favorite file along
with Excel every time you start it. Someone was asking in PowerPoint
newsgroup that can it be done with PowerPoint as well.

If someone has some suggestion then please let us know.

However, I use a trick to do the same task for every Office program and it
works very well. I use the following RUN command to open my favorite files
with favorite office programs.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE" c:\Tips.ppt
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\POWERPNT.EXE" c:\Tricks.ppt

and so on.

Later, I create new shortcuts for the same on my Start Menu instead of
default Office shortcuts as you can not change the Shortcut properties of
default shortcuts.

Let us know, if there are some more good ways to do the same task with every
Office Programs.

you could perhaps put it in the startup group and have PowerPoint start
everytime you log in...or, you could create a simple vbscript which would
open multiple files (well, a cmd batch is just enough, "start filename.ppt"
and such(

This was not all about opening a program with favorite file every time i
logged on. This was about opening a favorite file only when I open an Office
Program.

you could link the cmd to a shortcut with an office icon...
