Hi Badger,
From windows explorer open the splashscreen.bat file (right click and select edit) and right down the bottom you will see;

Code:

Rem Start IL-2 Directly
Rem cd C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovick 1946
Rem Start IL2fb.exe

Remove the Rem from bottom two lines;

Code:

Rem Start IL-2 Directly
cd C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovick 1946
Start IL2fb.exe

and make sure the path to IL2 is correct and then save the file. Then right click on it and select send to desktop option. This creates a shortcut on your desktop, use it to change screen and fire up the game.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Quelty
