Editing AddOn Studio for World of Warcraft documentation (section)

=== 4. Make a shortcut ===
Now that you have found the exe file, you can make an shortcut. There are tons of ways to do this.

For Windows 10, 8.1 and 8, probably the easiest thing to do is to just right-click on the running application in the Windows task bar, and click "Pin to task bar". And if desired, after right-clicking the first time, right-click again on the "AddOn Studio for ..." line and click "Pin to Start". At that point you should have a pinned shortcut icon on the windows task bar, and/or one in the start menu, and you are done.

For Windows 7 and Windows Vista (or Windows 10, 8.1, or 8 as an alternate way) just right-click on the application file, the real ".exe" file, and then click either "Pin to task bar" or "Pin to startup menu". At that point you should see a pinned shortcut icon on either and you are done.

On XP (or Windows Vista or Windows 7 as an alternate way) you can, using the *right* mouse button, drag the file to the taskbar "quick launch" menu, or the start menu, or the desktop. And when you release the mouse button, select "create shortcut". And you are done :)
