ORIGINAL: ETF "Right click to edit the Properties on the “Quick Start” shortcut to the game (located in your Start Menu folder for War in the Pacific: Admiral’s Edition..." Sorry on a business trip so don't have my other machines to look at....I edited the icon on my desktop with Windows 8. Which one should I be editing sir? Sorry but I make my own shortcuts and just update them when necessary (new releases, whatever). In the past I've posted pics that you might be able to find (I don't seem to have them any more on my PC), but here is an overview. - When you right click on any shortcut and click on 'Properties' you get a pop-up menu with multiple tabs. The one that comes up by default is the one of most interest to us. - The two text boxes we are concerned with are labeled 'Target' and 'Start in'. - 'Target' is the actual executable file for the game, and where you put any of these command line switches that are being discussed. - 'Start in' is the folder (directory) that the PC tells the program it is starting in. Most of the time this will be the same place as the location of the executable file (and that is the default automatically created when you make a new shortcut). The only time there is a difference with AE is when you are running a Beta version (in that case the 'Target' would indicate the location of the Beta executable, but the 'Start in' would indicate the main AE folder). - So (if you want to) how do you make a new shortcut? The easiest way is to find the file that you want to point to (such as the game executable file "War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe"), right-click on it and select 'Send to' and then 'Desktop (create shortcut)' and a new shortcut will be created on your desktop. You will then be able to move it (drag and drop) to whatever folder you want, and to edit it by right-clicking 'Properties' as described above. - When in that Properties pop-up, there is a 'General' tab where you can change the name of the shortcut.
