Setting pathway for desktop icon

I'm sorry about the multiple postings. It didn't show up first time. I tried to delete the other posting when I saw them, but the deletion just didn't happen quick enough.
The issue started when I was adjusting some code. I established an icon that worked inside of the code just for the time being (before the presentation). Worked well enough for the time being. But as far as the desktop icon, I bough the MicroSoft visual C++.net kit. I got a working desktop icon now.
Thanks and take care.

Make sure that the shortcut's "start in" field points to the correct directory (C:\Torque\SDK\example by default)

1. Load the Torque Demo.sln
2. Switch to the Resources tab on the Solution Explorer
3. Expand "Torque Demo"
4. Expand "TorqueDemo.rc"
5. Expand "Icon"
6. Select "IDI_ICON1"
7. In the Properties pane below the resource view, edit the "Filename" field.
8. Right Click on "TorqueDemo.rc" in the resource view and select "Save TorqueDemo.rc"
9. Rebuild!
Overall, I saved my project work on disk and then redownloaded the entire Torque SDK and then made the adjustments. The desktop icon now works. I wish I had more to say about the core issue. Hopefully I figure it out soon.

Please keep in mind the step instruction of my previous post in this thread. But to get MS Visual C++ working with Torque, please see www.garagegames.com/docs/tge/general/apbs02.php to get the configurations. There are instructions (that even I can follow) :- ) !
Once the steps of the previous post are completed, a torqueDemo_DEBUG will appear in the example directory.Please right click on this and send to desktop. The newly created desktop icon works well with the Nullsoft installer that I use.
Thanks again,
