shortcut problem by [MR] on 01-27-2006 at 04:32 AM

why is it that if i have a short cut to a game pinned to my start menu the game will always have an unexpected error occur whereas when i have a short cut on my desktop it has no errors.  whats the deal here?

is the target path correct?
are there any extra parameters set in the start menu shortcut?

Are you sure the drive letters are correct?

So when you go to the folder of the game, create a shortcut of the launcher and drag it into the start menu, it doesn't work?

I just went into the game folder and right clicked on the .exe and clicked pin to start menu.

well you can always just copy the shortcut from the desktop to the one in the start menu and it should then start working from the start menu.  Like just paste over the one thats not working
