ulpilotrmh Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 In order to start MSFS I must first click the Micro Soft button on my keyboard, open my library, scroll down to the version of MSFS I downloaded and open it. I would appreciate an MSFS icon on my desktop that would do all that for me. Can someone walk me thru exactly how that is done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 You can create a shortcut to the FlightSimulator.exe file like this: Type FlightSimulator.exe into the search window on your taskbar. In the options list on the right hand side, select "Open file location". Right-click on FlightSimulator.exe and select "Create shortcut". Move the new "FlightSimulator.exe - Shortcut" file to your desktop. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

dbauder Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 flightsimulator.exe does not work. Thanks anyway. I can open my "Microsoft Flight Simulator" folder, then "Contents", find a file named "Flight Simulator" (it's an application, not an exe), right-click on the file and select "create shortcut". The new file will be displayed just above the Flight Simulator file. Click and drag the shortcut to your desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
