When you double-click a shortcut to a content folder, its contents are displayed. When you double-click a shortcut to a content file, it is checked out of the content server
providing it is available and if you have permission to check it out and opened in its associated application see
Section 8.7.1, Viewing Files in Windows Explorer or E-mail Applications
. If you hover the mouse cursor over an Oracle Content Server shortcut, you see content
information for its associated item, such as the content ID, file size, and the like.
Standard Windows Shortcuts In addition to the special Oracle Content Server shortcuts, you can also create standard
Windows shortcuts to content folders and files on a server. The shortcut is then a link file .lnk that points to the full URL of the referenced file or folder. If you hover the
mouse cursor over a standard Windows shortcut, you see the URL of the referenced item.
When you double-click a shortcut to a content folder, its contents are displayed. When you double-click a shortcut to a content file, it is opened in its associated application in
view mode. By default, you cannot check the file back in to the server as a new revision of the original content item.
8.19.2 Creating Content Folder and File Shortcuts
There are different ways to create a shortcut to a content folder or file:
■
Select a folder or file on a content server, right-click, and then choose Create Shortcut
. This creates an Oracle Content Server shortcut in the same location as the original item preceded by Shortcut to.
■
Select a folder or file on a content server, then open the File menu, and then choose Create Shortcut. This creates an Oracle Content Server shortcut in the same
location as the original item preceded by Shortcut to.
■
Select a folder or file on a content server for copying. Then, at a location outside the Oracle Content Server hierarchy for example, your desktop, right-click and
choose Paste Shortcut. This creates a standard Windows shortcut that points to the URL of the referenced item.

You can rename shortcuts to content folders and files on a server in much the same way as other folders and files on your computer. Select the shortcut and press F2, or
right-click and choose Rename. Please note that renaming a shortcut does not affect the name of the original file and vice versa.
