[BaseCamp] shortcut icon on desktop

[Catfish]

Finally!!!
A BaseCamp question I can answer!!!
I don't run 8.1 anymore but...
Find the program file.
Something like this.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Garmin\BaseCamp
Go to the BaseCamp icon inside that folder and right click it.
Look down for "Send To" and right click that.
Look down for "Desktop (Create Shortcut)".
Left click that.
Presto.

I've been trying to use BC for an upcoming trip.
I hate BaseCamp but I'm trying.
