For example, I created a new 'Link to Application'. I right clicked this and did a rename and named it to 'foobar'. I right click on it again and go to properties. I click on the application tab. In the command box, I want to put something like: rdesktop -g 1280x1024 <SOMETHING> where <SOMETHING> is a special variable that contains the name of the object, in this case, 'foobar'. :) Thanks for the help!
