VLC Desktop Shortcut [SOLVED]

[JustinPBrown]

How do I place a VLC desktop shortcut or taskbar shortcut? In the program folder there is no send option on right click of the exe file.

Win7

Thanks verbal_666,

Drag & drop doesn't make a desktop shortcut, it removes the vlc exe file from the root folder.

I don't understand your second instruction. What do I do with that line of data?

[verbal_666]

Drag & Drop with RIGHT mouse button, then "Create Shortcut".

You have to open a Command Prompt and type one of theese command, they create a Shortcut on Desktop to VLC.
