sgtoku is on a distinguished road
Default Vista Premium 64bit, small issue.

I recently build a PC that had (for the first time) Vista 64bit installed. The problem I am having is most likely a simple one though I am having trouble with it.

When I install a program for example Call of Jurez (or however you spell it) and Half Life 2. I get a problem with finding it. I install it but I have to go to my computer, program files, so forth and so forth just to start it.

When I try and move the start icon to desktop it does not start when I click it simply because it will not find the file in that case.

Those who know how to deal with this would be if anything a boon to me. There is not to mention to diffrent file paths X86 and X64, which since I am new to both vista and 64bit makes it a little annoying, seeing how I dont know why I have X86 files in the thing.

Anyway, if you read this far thanks for reading and help would be great.

Uh, just right click the icon and find the right executable, or copy and paste the path from the working shortcut?
