<h2>Creating a Desktop Shortcut (Windows only)</h2>
 
<p>It is recommended that you create a desktop shortcut to the file location of the TaxonomicEditor.exe file as soon as you have downloaded and installed the Taxonomic Editor. You will then be able to open the Taxonomic Editor using the shortcut instead of having to navigate to the .exe file location. These instructions apply only to Windows systems.</p>
 
<ol>
        <li>Locate and open the extracted Taxonomic Editor folder in the destination in which you chose to extract the folder (if you selected the “Show extracted files when complete� option when extracting the folder it will automatically open).</li>
        <li>Right-click the <strong>TaxonomicEditor.exe</strong> file; a drop-down menu will appear.</li>
        <li>Click the <strong>Send To</strong> option.</li>
        <li>Click the <strong>Desktop (create shortcut)</strong> option.</li>
</ol>
 
<p><img src="../img/2_4a.jpg" alt="" /></p>
 
<p>This will create a shortcut on your desktop that will automatically open the Taxonomic Editor:</p>
 
<p><img src="../img/2_4b.jpg" alt="" /></p>
 
<p>You can double-click this icon to open the Taxonomic Editor.</p>
