I reformatted my PC yesterday and decided to try having nothing on my desktop. Problem is nexon thinks they have the right to do whatever the fuck they want to my desktop, such as shoving a shortcut to their website onto it every time I run the launcher. If I've already launched your game then there's no need to try and get me to go re-launch the game via your website.
Point is if anyone else gets annoyed with that you can fairly easily get around it by launching mabi through a batch file that will run mabi and then delete the shortcut right away.
Here's one designed for windows 7+
[CODE]
@echo off
echo Launching Mabinogi and deleting that retarded shortcut...
cd c:\nexon\mabinogi
start Mabinogi.exe
timeout 1
DEl "%UserProfile%\Desktop\ Mabinogi .lnk"
[/CODE]
Copy that into a new text file and rename or resave it with a .bat extension. also make sure the path to mabinogi is correct, and if you either moved your desktop files or have a non-english windows, also check the desktop path. replace your usual mabinogi shortcut with this. To make it look pretty just shove the script into your mabinogi folder, make a shortcut to it, and change the shortcut icon to the mabinogi icon.
Another note: if your mabinogi launcher takes long to load because your PC is crappy, increase the value of "timeout" a little bit so that the delete operation executes after the shortcut is created.
Might work on vista, probably not very well on XP. If you're still on XP I'd like to remind you that we're in 2013, next year XP is no longer getting windows updates. Enjoy your viruses and such.
