Creating Shortcut

Post by John 3rd »

I will lead with the well known fact that I am a tech idiot.

How do I create a new shortcut for the game?

Please throw no rotten tomatoes!! :shock:

Browse to the folder where the game is installed, example "C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition"

Right click in the executable, "War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe"

Click in "create shortcut".

Cut and paste it to the desktop and rename as you want.

Glorious: DONE!

OK. Next (and last) question...I right click the shortcut to change the image size to full screen screen: CORRECT? Where do I go after that? Am ready with the change itself but am not sure where to place it. :oops:

For the command line switches:

Right click in the shortcut, then click in properties.

The command switches are added to "target"

Example: "C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -px1920 -py1080 -nofire -deepColor -skipVideo -altFont -dd_sw -cpu2
