XCOM UFO Defense

[BigFattyPlus]

I just got the orginal XCOM UFO Defense on cd and I managed to install it and it works great for such an old game. What i would like to know is how can I make a desktop icon for it so I don't have to constantly mount drives and such EVERYTIME I want to play it?

I had used this guy's tutorial (http://www.doctort.org/adam/nerd-notes/warcraft-ii-on-windows-xp-a-step-by-step-guide.html) for getting Warcraft 2 to work and have a desktop icon, so I tried to modify it for XCOM, but Imay have screwed up because the icon only takes me to DOSBox and not the game itself.

Does anyone know how I can fix it so that I can get an icon to work like Wracraft 2's??

That's an extremely messy solution.

Try this instead: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=28964

The idea is to associate the config files so that opening one automatically runs DOSBox with it. Then you don't need to muck around with target settings. Shortcut to config, set icon to shortcut, done.
Been using this since I've posted that tutorial, works like a charm.
