Glad it worked for you Barry. I think your complaint is valid. I only found it by accident. Once I had, I put a shortcut to it on my desktop. To put the Gimp icon on the shortcut, I found it in the same file.

It would have been nice to have some instructions about this and also a desk top starting icon set up. But I had best forget this and start it this way and spend a lot of time on the help manual.

You MAY find the Gimp executable file: "gimp-2.8.exe". Double clicking on that should start it (no guarantees).
