Click the Start button, then click the down arrow (you should see "New programs installed: 1" or something similar next to it) - you'll see the GIMP icon there. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Closed but not forgotten For Windows users there is a temptation to ***click-n-wish***, set the installer running and not look at any options. For a desktop shortcut, which might be expected by some, the ***customize*** option is used. This gives the opportunity to set file type associations and menu options. A short 3 minute video, a demo in Win 10 but equally applicable to other Windows versions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klV_1PslFG4 Part of some other hints for Gimp beginners. http://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Gimp-Installation?pid=202#pid202 rich: www.gimp-forum.net -- rich2005 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
