Abstract
Apparatus and method are provided for implementing a link system that is configured to automatically find all third party applications that are installed on a user system, and that provides shortcuts or links to the applications from a single program container (i.e. folder or group). The link system searches each current container for shortcuts or links to application programs and when an application program is found within the current container, the link system copies the shortcut link of that application program to the destination container.
