    mach3 icon on desktop

    i have created a new profile for my cnc foam cuter but can not find the desktop icon for it. it will start it up in mach3 loader. so there must be a exe for it somewhere.

    Make a copy of one of your existing shortcuts, rightclick it and select Properties. On the Shortcut tab edit the Target field to point to your newly created profile instead of the original one.

    Since you read the Mach3 manual, you'll recall that Mach looks for a .xml file that is the profile you created, like "MySpiffyProfile.xml". Then it executes "Mach3.exe /p:MySpiffyProfile" when you click on your startup shortcut.
    I don't remember the syntax completely, but it's fully described in the manual, so I guess you'll have to look it up anyway.
