Tutorial from http://gp2xwiz.info which demonstrates how to create custom shortcuts which appear inside the "Wiz Games" menu. This method was done using Windows XP, and it should also work within Windows Vista / 7.

The advantage of setting up a menu of shortcuts is the fact that you can access all of your emulators from a single screen instead of having to use the "Launcher" to find the emulator directory and manually launch the corresponding .gpe file.

Special notes:

I have an option set up in my Windows Explorer folder view to always show file extensions. So for instance, rather than a file saying "File1" it will say "File1.txt". I find it much more convenient to always see file extensions, especially when performing tweaks and edits to the Wiz file system.

To have Windows always display file extensions:

Go to "Tools : Folder Options" in the windows explorer menu for any open folder. (You might find it preferable to have the Wiz's SD Card folder open).

When the "Folder Options" window appears, go to the "View" tab. Under "Advanced settings" make sure the option "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked.
