Configure shortcuts

Add shortcuts to files that are installed with Office 2013 Preview or files that were already on the user's computer. You can configure shortcuts only when you first install Office on a user's computer. This option is ignored if you apply the Setup customization file to an existing installation.

Choose Add to add a new shortcut. To change a shortcut in the list, select the shortcut and choose Modify. To remove a shortcut from the list, select the shortcut and choose Remove.

Shortcuts with Yes in the Installed column are configured during installation. Shortcuts that have No in this column are configured if the corresponding product is later installed.

Note:

If you add a shortcut to a custom application or file, that shortcut is not updated or removed if the user changes, repairs, reinstalls, or removes Office.

Specify the application associated with the shortcut by selecting a

folder in the Start menu, select [ProgramMenuFolder] and append the
