Can somebody please explain to me how to add a link to Avalaunch?

I have added two applications but don't know how to add a link to them on the Avalaunch desktop for easy launching.  Instead I have been going to file manager and launching them from there.

Thanks in advance!

Looking forwards to not being such a noob....

You need to open your avalaunch.xml file in a text editor such as notepad.  usually in c:/ unless you specified a different location.  Unless you use the notepad plugin for xbmc you need to get the file onto your computer to edit it.

Scroll down to the <menu> section.  You will notice the first menu item is the link to xbmc:

<item name="XBox Media Center" path="E:\Apps\XBMC\default.xbe"/>

so to add you own link, you first find which spot to put it in between eg between xbmc and games or games and apps.

then add the link location to your xml file.

<item name="(Title to be displayed)" path="(E:/ or F:/ path to the .xbe)"/>

Hope that helps

Remember to save and overwrite the old file.
