Open DownThemAll without Firefox

DownThemAll is a great download manager add-on for Firefox. Since it is a Firefox add-on, Firefox has to be opened first to access DownThemAll. However, this problem can be solved easily.



1. Right click anywhere on the desktop and click on New > Shortcut


2. Click on Browse and point it to the firefox.exe icon your computer, usually located in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\

3. Add the following towards the end of the form

 -no-remote -chrome chrome://dta/content/dta/manager.xul

So the complete location becomes:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -chrome chrome://dta/content/dta/manager.xul



4. Finish the wizard and you have a shortcut to open DownThemAll directly. You can customize the name and icon of this shortcut as you wish.
