Shortcut
« on: September 14, 2011, 01:07:08 PM »
Months back when I installed Mach3 I made a custom desktop shortcut called Rf Mill.  This is the shortcut I have been using ever since but the other day I was cleaning up my desktop and accidentally deleted it and emptied the trash bin.

How do I make a new shortcut for RF Mill?

I know I can use the Mach3 loader and just choose RF Mill from the menu but there should be a way of recreating the Icon on the desktop.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Ray

I had tried that also and got the result of " File not found" so I went back to my old "DOS" days and found the problem.  We had left out a space between the forward slash and the letter p.  It should read "C:\Mach3\Mach3.exe/ p RF_Mill"

Thank you for your reply as it made me go back and look at it again.
