Create desktop shortcuts to your favorite server

[Tricxta]

Im with dusty on this one. Making a shortcut to save some time isn't being lazy, Its being efficient. Why you want to waste time getting onto a server the extended way confuses me. Answer this please:
If you had a whole pile of equipment at the bottom of a building and you had the choice of taking the lift or using the stairs to move it all to the top knowing that after you finish you can relax at your leisure which way would you choose and would you call it being lazy or being efficient?

What the **** you are talking about. You are saving 2-3 Seconds not 10 Hours. So shut up. Your accord is really stupid!

So Graal opening is so hard that you need to relax after it 2 hours? Omfg come dont post anything again in the forums pls.

With the example I gave the time differences are different but the concept is exactly the same. Why expend time on something that doesn't need it when you could be playing a game instead.

I wouldn't want them to go off and play on one of those other fun servers, they may not come back to me

The shortcut automatically logs in the last known user that has "Save my password" checked and last logged in, so packaging the client with the shortcut probably won't work on a first-run basis. However, I have never tested that, though it stands to reason as that's how the shortcut works. It may just use "Guest" if it can't fulfil any of those parameters.

So you are also the kind of guy who doesn't have any bookmarks, but rather types in the addresses all the time?

Look at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\graal\Shell\open\command in the registry and check if the path to your Graal.exe is correct.

[Emera]

"C:\Users\MyLoginName\Desktop\GRAAL 3\Graal.exe" "%0"
And this means?

[Crow]

That it's looking for Graal.exe in the specified path. Edit it to match your Graal install location.

Edit: If you guys want to use the Graal.exe to create your server shortcuts directly, you have to include the protocol in the shortcut, making the shortcut location look like this:

NPC Code:

---

C:\path\to\Graal.exe graal://Server

---

It takes me straight to the login server when I activate my shortcut to Era now.

I'd bet you ten bucks that you have a shortcut to Esteria on your desktop.

"C:\Users\MyLoginName\Documents\Graal\Graal.ex e" < No space, don't know why it shows a space.
EIDIT: Fixed. Did some research and forgot to add "%0" at the end.
Oh and for those who wanted a custom image, it ain't anything special, but here is a green graalian!

Who cares, you're still saving time.
