| |
| Mod Organizer (MO) allows the user to create shortcuts to launch applications through it. Shortcuts may be placed on the Start Menu, Desktop, or the [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Mod_Organizer#tab=Toolbar Toolbar] within MO itself.
| |
| | |
| To place a shortcut on the Desktop (or to remove it if it is there already):
| |
| #Select the application from the executable drop-down menu.
| |
| #Click the Shortcut drop-down menu.
| |
| #Select ''Desktop''.
| |
| | |
| To place a shortcut in the Start Menu (or to remove it if it is there already):
| |
| #Select the application from the executable drop-down menu.
| |
| #Click the Shortcut drop-down menu.
| |
| #Select ''Start Menu''.
| |
| | |
| To place a shortcut on the [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Mod_Organizer#tab=Toolbar Toolbar] (or to remove it if it is there already):
| |
| #Select the application from the executable drop-down menu.
| |
| #Click the Shortcut drop-down menu.
| |
| #Select ''Toolbar''.
| |
| | |
| {{Warning Small|Any arguments, lack of arguments, or other options changed in the ''Configure Executables'' dialog will not affect shortcuts made prior to these changes. For the shortcut to receive the new settings, you must delete the shortcut and create it again.}}

| ===Changing shortcut icons===
| |
| By default, Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts created through Mod Organizer display its icon and not the icon of the application to be launched. This can be changed by altering the shortcut's icon settings. To do so:
| |
| #Right-click on the shortcut to be modified and select ''Properties''.
| |
| #Click the ''Change Icon...'' button.
| |
| #Click ''Browse...''
| |
| #Browse to the location of the application and select the application (or relevant icon image).
| |
| #Click ''Open''.
| |
| #Click ''OK''.
| |
| #Click ''Apply''.
| |
| | |
| ===Profile-specific shortcuts===
| |
| It is possible to make a shortcut profile-specific. This only works for Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts. If this is done, it will only run in the profile specified. To create a profile-specific shortcut:
| |
| #Create the shortcut to the application as outlined above.
| |
| #Right-click on the shortcut created and select ''Properties''.
| |
| #The ''Target'' field will include two strings encompassed by quotes like this: <code>"<ModOrganizer>/ModOrganizer.exe" "<ApplicationFolder>/Application.exe"</code>
| |
| #*Between those two strings add <code> -p "Name of Profile" </code> replacing ''Name of Profile'' with the name of the profile to be used.
| |
| #*The ''Target'' field should now look like this: <code>"<ModOrganizer>/ModOrganizer.exe" -p "Name of Profile" "<ApplicationFolder>/Application.exe"</code>
| |
| #Click ''Apply''.
| |
| #(Optional) Rename the shortcut in a manner that will indicate which profile it will work on.
