Special case: manual creation of a short-cut

If a doubleclick on sudokumat.jar does not work, but Java is installed, then you can create a short-cut manually:

1. Target.
   Here you must enter the full path to the Java-executable javaw.exe , completed by the parameter -jar sudokumat.jar.
   Example:
   C:\Programme\Java\jre1.5.0_10\bin\javaw.exe -jar sudokumat.jar
2. Set the working directory.
   The Windows-Assistant sets this value to the directory of the executable. But this path must point to the directory where sudokumat.jar is stored.
   Sample:
   C:\games\sudokumat
