The shortcut works, in that it opens the correct Alpha Five database, but it doesn't work in that:
1. The icon is missing from the desktop (even though the shortcut's name is correctly displayed)
2. The custom splash screen does not display either its title or graphic
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I have created a short cut from the path Tools>Shortcut.
I have entered the following values on the respective tabs:
General tab:
Appearance tab:
Window tab:
Advanced tab:
Please note that the icon is a .ico file and that the splash screen is a .bmp file.
I think I following the documentation "Using the shortcut genie" closely, but obviously
am missing something. Why does my icon not appear on my desktop? What happened to
my custom splash screen and titile?
Alpha Five does open the correct database but uses its customary splash screen
of the blue cube on balanced on its edge with a green progress bar rather than my custom one.
