“shortcuts” -M Start minimised on the task bar -S Mercury Start with
the shortcut Mercury If you have the AS
icon you can set icon accordingly Run the GDC from the
amended icon Note The GDC saves itself
on the task bar and needs to be quit before any changes to the properties
take effect. The configuration is
saved in the GDC folder usually C:\program files\fourjs\gdc\etc
in the files config.html and hosts.html. These files may be saved before an
update and restored reducing the need to configure the GDC. The first time the GDC
is run you may get request to allow the GDC through the fire wall tick the
networks required. You will also a message indicating that the shortcut
Mercury cannot be found. This is correct because we have not created it yet.
