# re: Windows Vista Shortcut Keys

How can I make an icon so that my user can double click on it and have everything happen, instead of them having to go to here and there to use the Blackberry Phone as modem.  Is there a program that can create one of these shortcuts here mentioned.  I have Windows Vista.

Thanks
