Shortcut Properties Dialog Box

This property indicates the full path and file name of the file on the Windows Mobile device or smart device that is to be executed when the shortcut is clicked. The list contains the paths to all of the files being installed onto the Windows Mobile or smart device. Select the appropriate file from the list.

If you want to specify a .png file that should be used for the shortcut on the Start screen of Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional–powered devices, select this check box, and then click the browse button to select the file. The file should be a 90°90 pixel .png file. When the shortcut is installed and displayed on Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional–powered devices, the Windows Mobile Shell scales down the shortcut's icon as necessary, depending on the DPI of the device.

Tip: If you are creating a mobile device installation for Windows Mobile–powered devices and you plan to distribute your product through Windows Marketplace for Mobile, you must use a 90°90 pixel Start screen icon (.png file) for your product.

Note: If you use a Start screen icon, your .cab file must be signed. You can specify digital signature information on the Sign the .cab Files panel of the Windows Mobile Wizard or the Smart Device Setup Wizard. For more information, see Sign the cab files Panel.

If you use a Start screen icon and your mobile device installation might be installed on a Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard device (which does not have support for displaying Start screen .png icons), your .cab file must be signed with a privileged certificate; otherwise, the installation fails.
