2. Right-click on the shortcut and select "Properties"
3. Select the "Shortcut" tab
4. in the "Target" field, enter
"X:\Program Files\Peachw\PEACHW.EXE" Y:\peachw\ZZZZZZZZ where
X=the drive where your Peachw.exe file is located. The
quotation marks
are required if you have any long directory names in the path
to PEACHW.EXE.

5. Delete everything in the "Start in:" field
