Question
How do I create a shortcut on the desktop

Answer
To create a shortcut on the Desktop to a file in your setup, do the following:

- Locate the file that you want to create the shortcut to on Setup Factory's main screen. When you find it, select the file by left-clicking on it.
- Select Project | File Properties from the menu. This will open the File Properties screen.
- Select the Shortcuts tab.
- Turn on (check) the Desktop option in the Location section.
- Enter the text that you want to be underneath the Shortcut's icon in the Description field of the Properties section.
- Click OK to accept the changes to the file's properties.


Now, during the setup process a shortcut will be created to the file on the user's desktop. If you have turned on the Uninstall option for the setup, the shortcut will automatically be removed during uninstall.
