What is a sub folder? And where will i find one?

well here is some explanation so you wouldn't look as stupid with computers somewhere else

the shortcut is just a shortcut that runs a real excutable of a program

an excutable is a file which can be executed and run a program.
this file differs in each operation system. in windows this file has extension .exe (if you have hidden file extensinos which is default in windows, immediately turn them back on)
this game has an excutable in it as well. it's called GPM2.EXE

but this case slightly differs because the game needs to have lower colour pallete in order to run (it tells you that when you run it), so you right click the excutable, select properties, click compatibility tab and check the box which says Run in 256 colors. click OK and run the game (double click the excutable, like with any other program)

i hope that you're just new to computers, in any case i hope you will manage to fix your computer illiteracy


edit: lol when i was writing this you managed to write another 2 posts?

you have to copy wing32.dll from the game directory into c:\windows\system (i guess your windows is on c drive)
