Problems creaating Desktip Shortcuts

[DaveS]

After successfully loading a profile I click on Tools/Create Desktop Shortcut and then select Local but nothing happens. I've looked everywhere and am unable to find the shortcut it was supposed to create. Any help on this would be appreciated.

If you are running Windows 7, I don't think it works anymore on that OS.

I even tried to create a shortcut manually and it does not work.

Ah, yes, I'm running Win7 64 bit, just another one of them programs that doesn't like 7 I guess. Thanks for the reply Wild Bill.

DaveS,

I was able to manually create a shortcut to automatically load a profile on Windows 7. I was having problems with it, but have just figured it out.

1) Create a Shortcut to TouchBuddy.exe on your desktop (or wherever you want).
2) Right-Click the Shortcut and select Properties.
3) Add the profile path and other parameters to the end of the Target line.
4) Make sure the 'Start in:' textbox has the path to the location of the TouchBuddy.exe. (this is what I was missing!)

Command Line Parameters Documentation:
-m [local|client|server] -c <*.tbc>

"-m local" and "-m client" requires the -c option as well server mode only requires the "-m server" option (no config required)

the -c option can be 'relative' to where TouchBuddy is located
e.g. -c profiles\simple-layout.tbc
or a 'full file path'
e.g. -c c:\touchbuddy\profiles\simple-layout.tbc
if the path contains any spaces, you 'must quote' the path
e.g. -c "c:\touchbuddy diretory\profiles\simple-layout.tbc"

Simple Example to run locally:
"c:\touchbuddy\touchbuddy.exe" -m local -c "c:\touchbuddy\profiles\simple-layout.tbc"

Here is an Example of mine to run TouchBuddy Locally on my game computer:

"E:\My Documents\TouchBuddy\TouchBuddy.exe" -m local -c "E:\My Documents\TouchBuddy Files\Profiles\IL2 Series\IL2 Series 2.1-Online-ClipRadio-WBK.tbc"
