Running BASIC programs from Desktop Icons 1) Put the program you want to run in the same folder as the GWBASIC.exe file. 2) Create a shortcut to the program on your desktop. 3) Right click the shortcut ( now on your desktop ) and in the "pop up box" click "properties" 4) The "pop up box" target entry shows the address that the shortcut is pointing to. It should look something like: C:\WINDOWS\MYPROGRAM.BAS Change it to something like: C:\WINDOWS\GWBASIC.EXE MYPROGRAM.BAS 5) On my computer the Icon changes to the MSDOS icon. 6) Now when you click the Icon, your GW-BASIC program will pop up and automatically run!
