How to create a shortcut

for a graphical description caution this takes some time to load

  1. From the desktop (where various icons are located just above the start button which is located in the lower left corner) right click a blank area on this "desktop" area, left click "new", left click "shortcut", then "browse" or tumble by moving up and down thru the file and folder directory structure until you get to the Mediwin folder.... use the scroll bar/sliding button to move to the file in question, highlight it...
  2. then browse or "tumble" by moving up and down thru the file and folder directory structure until you get to the Mediwin folder.... use the scroll bar/sliding button to move to the file in question, highlight it... but first double click the Mediwin folder to select it…..

  3. then change to "all file types" for your selection so that you will be able to find the command batch file rather than just the "exe" file types.  Use the pop down black arrow at the right end of the files types entry window

  4. select the file (either an exe --executable or a batch -- command type file or sometimes even an icon file type) by highlighting it

  5. name it as you want (you can rename it at this point)

  6. just click finish on the icon selection page next (you can come back later to adjust the batch file icon)

  7. after clicking "finish" you will be taken back to your desktop where you can modify the batch file to work more properly.  Right click the icon then left click properties.

  8. select the "program" tab at the top of that page

  9. make sure that "close on exit" is checked on the above page.  Then select the "screen" tab and check "usage" "full screen".  If you want you can select "change icon" from the page referenced just above.

  10. please note you can select "browse" after selecting "change icon" button if you wish to select from icons located in some other folder.  It is easier to look for "icons" rather than "icon files" or all files, etc.  Most icons are always saved into the "windows", or the "windows/system" folder
