How to Create Shortcuts
(Links to Files & Folders)

Dropping files on FileBoss is comfortably similar to dropping files on other programs such as Windows Explorer.

But with the following great improvements:

•

Select Create Shortcuts

as the default operation when files are dropped on FileBoss.
The default operation is easily switched between Copy, Move and Create Shortcuts by simply clicking on the Command button (

) or selecting the Options | Default Drop Mode > command from the main menu.
(Naturally you can still force the drop mode when dragging files by holding down the Alt, Ctrl or Shift key as appropriate.)

•	Drag & Drop with the right button produces a popup menu from which you can select how to drop : Copy, Move or Create Shortcut(s).

•	Before dropping files (i.e. releasing the mouse button) press and hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys. This will force FileBoss (and most other programs) to create shortcuts to the source files rather than copy or move them.

Also Consider Using Drop Zones

If you will be creating shortcuts to more than just a couple of files consider using one or more Drop Zones set to create shortcuts in their associated folders.

See Using Drop Zones for all the great details on Drop Zones.
