Fix #30: create Windows desktop shortcut #43

Closed densnow closed 1 month ago

densnow commented 1 month ago

At present, the name that appears under the shortcut (and is mentioned in README) is "M269-start". This is defined here incase it needs to be changed. Similarly the description (text that appears on mouse hover) is currently "Start the M269 software" and is defined here.

When modifying the README, the original instructions (by Bob) needed (very) minor alterations to suit the new context. It might be best for him to check that he is still happy with them since his name is mentioned.

I'm starting to wonder: would it work to simply have the start.ps1 script in the desktop and then simply double-clicking on it?

I think one would need to right-click on the script and select "run with powershell". Double clicking opens it in a text editor on my machine.

The first time it is run by right-clicking, it seems to ask about the execution policy.
