On the File menu, click New.
Click Program Item, and then click OK.
Fill out the Program Item properties as follows:
Description: Type the text you want to appear below the icon.

Command line: Type the path to the viewer, followed by any command line switches you want to use, followed by the name of the presentation you want to run. For example, if you want to view the Pres1.ppt presentation in Window mode, type the following:
