<p>I tried opening daedalus from the windows 10 taskbar today. This brought up a prompt informing me that this method is an improper way to open it(any explanations why cardano hates windows taskbar would also be appreciated). I know how to make another desktop shortcut in windows, but I was curious to know if there's a 'correct' way of doing this? My solution is to dig around in the file manager taking guesses at which .exe file is the correct one. Is there a faster way of recreating this desktop shortcut? Is there a practical reason (I'm assuming it's a security vulnerability?) for this forced method of opening?</p>
<p>Digging through the web is tough with this problem because most searches only find errors with sync issues rather than local desktop problems.</p>

If the desktop shortcut for the daedalus app gets removed, can I make another one? Why is it needed for proper opening of the app?

A best guess for a solution here is to find the daedalus app via start menu "super-key". After opening the app (assuming you let the db sync adequately) and closing, a new desktop shortcut seems to get created for you immediately after closing.

This is incredibly convenient for the troubled user, I have no info to offer on security inquiries or what makes the windows 10 taskbar so improper.
