    No desktop shortcut for Crysis or Crysis Warhead after installation?

    Have you tried clicking on the .exe icon in the game directory (bin32/64) and sent it to the desktop (so that it creates a shortcut)? Thats the way I know of creating a shortcut desktop.

    Precisely.

    Go to the game directory. Right-click on the exe file there and select 'create shortcut'.

    Then right click on the created file, select "cut".
    Go to the desktop, right click and select "paste". That should do it fine.

    Desktop Shortcut Icons

    I tried using Edge that comes with the computer and I can see the logo you are talking about. When I try to drag it to the desktop you can see that I have it but as soon as I drop it the window opens rather than putting the shortcut icon on the desktop.
