make desktop shortcut to control center 4 for Brother scanner

There is a discussion on this issue in experts exchange, but I have not any luck getting a shortcut icon on the desktop.

I cannot believe it’s this hard to get a shortcut on the desktop for a program.

I support Brother ADS-2400n scanners, and I’d like to get a shortcut to control center 4 on the desktop.

From what I’ve gathered surfing the internet is the only way to do this is with a batch file.

The control center 4 icon goes on the systray, and you double click that to start the program, but the users I support would like that on the desktop.
You can drag a shortcut to BrCtrlCntr but nothing happens when you click on it.

I’ve tried dragging the icon in the systray to the bottom shortcut bar for program but no luck; icon does not go over.

I emailed Brother but was told this is a Windows problem.

This is the link to the discussion on experts exchange website. I’m not sure if a discussion has a case number or something like that to identify it with.

Hey,

I copied and pasted your suggestion and worked good.

The folks at work will love this. They now can get directly to control center, instead of having to go through another menu to get to control center. Control center is actually what is used to do the scanning.
I'm glad that does the trick for you...and that the folks at work will love it. Regards, Joe
