carni 10,094 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Help needed.I have tried posting this query in Computer Help Forum, but I can't get the Post option? I was wondering if anyone could give instructions on how to add Short Cuts to my Desk Top. I don't have a clue! Thankyou for your time and any help. I am not very up on Computer Terms, so if you could explain in simple words, there is a slight chance I may understand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,505 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 When I first saw this title in the threads, I assumed it was going to be about alleyways, secret paths, and hidden cut-throughs in Nottingham. And maybe......... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Sorry to disappoint anyone with my misleading title, I'm afraid all of the alleyways, secret paths and hidden cut throughs that I knew of, have long gone since I left Nottingham. Mostly taken away with the demolition and Modernisation! It is a different Nottingham to the one I remember from my beginnings. I still love the City though, and am proud to be from there. And maybe........somewhere out there, there is a secret path or alleyway holding memories for me, that has survived the 1960's destruction. catfan, thanks for the instructions. I had to just add a little bit more to it, and I have managed to add a short cut. Thanks agen duck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Seems like every shortcut I ever tried to take ended up taking me longer and bringing me out where I didn't want to be anyway. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephenFord 866 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Benjamin - gag from Meccano Magazine (mid 1950s). PC : "Sorry sir, you can't park your car here," Man : "But officer, this is a cul-de-sac!" PC : "I don't care if its a Rolls Royce - you still can't park it here." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Cul de sac. Doesn't that mean dead end, in english? :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,248 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yes loppy,.......i lived up the 'cul-de-sac' (which obviously was a dead end,).......but we just refered to it as the 'cul-de-sac' as kids not realising it was a French term,...........know what i mean?... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 The whole of Netherfield was a cul de sac. Railways on three sides and the Trent down't bottom. The street I grew up on had a railway line and a fence at the bottom of it so it too was a cul de sac. Good grief! I'm just a natural for dead ends. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
