Hi Marco, apologies for the delay in replying. It is possible to manually create a shortcut. To do so, you will need to find the javaw.exe executable that comes with your Java installation. Create a shortcut to javaw (you can do this from the right-click context menu in windows 7, not sure about 8). Then open the properties of the shortcut (another right click) and in the "Target" entry box, after the path to javaw.exe in quotes, add the rest of the VM parameters. For example: -jar -Xmx1000m Mauve.jar Then in the "Start in:" field, enter the directory where Mauve was installed, the same directory where you found Mauve.jar. Now you should be able to move the shortcut wherever is convenient and it will launch the GUI with 1000 Mb of allocated RAM.
