This launcher for Microsoft Windows was compiled using Dev-C++ <https://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html>. To download Dev-C++ go to project page at SourceForge <https://sourceforge.net/projects/dev-cpp/>. To recompile it just open the project Freemind.dev with Dev-C++ and compile the project. Chances are that it can be compiled using Microsoft Visual C++ too. This launcher provides the following. 1) Has an icon 2) When a file is dragged and dropped over the launcher, it is passed to java application as a parameter 3) When the launcher is run from a DOS console and given multiple arguments, all are passed to java application 4) Launcher has to reside in a directory relative to the application directory. However, it can be run from any other directory. Therefore, if you assign the launcher to a file type, the application is run correctly with the file passed as an argument. Things to watch 1) FreeMind.ico must be a real icon, not an icon created by changing the extension of a file from bmp to ico. 2) Icon1.rc is the file telling where the icons is stored. It is a resource file. This resource file is compiled into Icon1.o (object file), which is then linked with freemind.o to create Freemind.exe
