Re: ACS and windows taskbar quick launch shortcut

I have set my file extension short cut for .hod and .sql files to be launched by
ACS.
(You can do this by starting the full ACS application and selecting Tools>File
Association. Select the extensions you want have associated with ACS.)
Then I start up the ACS 5250 emulation with the .hod file I intend to use.
Once the emulation is running I right click the ACS windows application icon on
the windows taskbar and click 'Pin to Task Bar'
>From then on I can start the ACS emulator by clicking on the taskbar icon.
One note: I also start the ACS sql client the same way - but this uses the same
icon. So when I start the emulator or the sql client from the taskbar I have to
right click the taskbar icon and select either the .hod file or 'i Access SQL
Client'

Hi,

I always used to have shortcuts to my iAccess emulator sessions on my quick
launch taskbar in Windows. From the former iAccess session manager window,
I could just rightclick an emulator session and drag and drop a shortcut on
my windows quick launch taskbar. (Windows 7 Prof x64)

Now that we move to ACS i fail to do the same thing for my ACS emulator
sessions.
There seems no way to drag and drop a session from the Session Manager.

When I go to the file location of my .hod files and try to drag an drop
these to the quick launch I get no luck either, it won't let me do this.
When I create a shortcut to my .hod file or even to the
acslaunch_win-64.exe application, and try to drop that on the taskbar
it won't.
I know I can start the session manager with a key shortcut crtl-shift-alt-b
but I need a visible shortcut.

I guess I must be doing something wrong, but can't find out.
Anybody got better results with similar functionality?

Thanks,
-Arco
