Migrating from Cumulus 1 to MX: Difference between revisions

    I right clicked on the "CumulusMX.exe" entry in the top level folder and selected Send to ... desktop (create shortcut) .

    Ensure that your shortcut has a Start in: defined as the folder where your executable is stored. This is the most vital setting.

    You can optionally change other shortcut properties. I selected to use different settings in the colours tab, so when I have that terminal/console window open I don't confuse it with any other command window I might open. I selected to change options in the layout tab to position the terminal/console window on my second (smaller) screen. I also selected the Start minimised option, as I don't need the window for this MX engine taking up screen space all the time.

    I have renamed my shortcut to "MX_run" so I can recognise it as different to the folder name, as I have also created a shortcut for the folder.

    On the same right click menu I also selected Pin to taskbar.

    When I am happy with MX, I will copy the shortcut into C:\Users\Personal\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ and then MX will start automatically after I (or Windows Update) reboot my PC.
