Updated over 3 months ago

You can make a Legacy icon (shortcut) on your desktop screen following these steps:

  1. Using the RIGHT mouse button, click once on the desktop screen where there are no icons.

  2. On the popup menu click New > Shortcut to open the Create Shortcut screen.
    Next:
    LEGACY:
    type C:\Program Files\Legacy9\Legacy.exe and then click Next (for Windows 32-bit computers)
    type C:\Program Files (x86)\Legacy9\Legacy.exe and then click Next (for Windows 64-bit computers)​​

  3. Change the name of shortcut from Legacy.exe to Legacy (version number) and then click Finish.

  4. Test the icon (shortcut) and if Legacy starts, you are done.
    ​​

If the icon (shortcut) doesn't work or can't be created, then re-install Legacy from the Web by visiting https://legacyfamilytree.com/download-update.
