When I install a program, there'll often be a shortcut made on the desktop or when I click on the "windows" icon; I can see the newly installed and create one. I realized sometimes there's another shortcut available in the "recent". (ex. I installed 'Maschine 2' and it put a 'Maschine 2' shortcut on the desktop. I later realized under "recent" there was an icon also for "Maschine 2 64-bit"... If I click on "file location" they both take me to the exact same one; so are they different or is it just how they are named??? If they are different, then should I go through 'program files' and find any '64-bit' named icons to make shortcuts? Any help would be great. Thank you

Check your GS post, please. I saw that one before this one and responded there.

Okay, I'll check that. I'll start to try and only post on one or the other. Since I'm new to forums, I didn't think or realize the fact that there's the overlap ... Thanks

Recent is based on what you've launched recently, hence the name.
Not everything gets a shortcut on the desktop. Delete if you dont need.
Everything should ideally wind up in the start menu.
my other modular synth is a bugbrand

I will. Sorry, too many years of drama class, though I don't think I ever took it. :lol

Okay, sounds good. Thanks... I'm not too worried anymore. It just through me off b/c the installer for 'Native Instruments' put a handful of shortcuts on the 'desktop', which I've been using; then I realized later when I clicked on the 'window' button there were shortcuts for all the same but '64-bit'... Either way, all good. Thanks
