WARNING: Dont kill me if this is brought up already..
This method is what im using to access the "Mabinogi Patcher" directly without using the Weblaunch
This works just the same as going to Mabinogi Folder and clicking Mabinogi.exe but going to the folder everytime is annoying right?
NOTE: THIS METHOD DOESN'T USE SHORTCUT METHOD!
Shortcut method via making a shortcut, locate the file, and pasting it into the desktop will work for the first time
BUT after that.. click the shortcut once again and it will open a browser (replaces the shortcut you made into URL shortcut)again.. IT IS SETTED UP like that..
This Method Uses BATCH FILE (.bat)
1. Create a Text File by right clicking on the Desktop->New>Text Document
By doing so, you will create a file called New Text Document.txt
(In case that you are not seeing the file extension (.txt)
Do this:
Go to My Computer or any Explorer Window->Tools->Folder Options->View Tab
Uncheck the box with the "Hide Extensions for known File Types"
2. Double Click the newly created Text File
Type this inside:
START /MAX C:\Nexon\Mabinogi\Mabinogi.exe
then Save
START - command is use for starting .exe files for Windows 98 up to Windows 7
/MAX - Open the file in Maximize View
Change the directory on where is the location of Mabinogi.exe if necessary. Ask Google if you dont know how to find the exact file location of a certain file.
3. Now you have created the text file with a command inside. Highlight the file, Rename it (press F2) then change that to "Mabinogi.bat" (Make sure the file extension is now .bat not .txt)
Then voila.. You are done!! Simple right? Many people know this already or have their own methods.. but this is a simple method for those new players or to those people who doesn't know yet.
PS: Unfortunately, you cannot change the icon.. because its not a SHORTCUT or an EXE file :T_T:
