How to launch Expo XDE on Windows

Question

I just installed exponent version 11 on Windows. After the installer completes, it automatically launches XDE. But then I closed it.

I notice that there in the directory ~\AppData\Local\xde\app-2.10.0, there is a suggestively named file called Exponent XDE.exe, and double-clicking seems to do the right thing, but I wonder: is this actually the recommended way to launch it, or is there, for instance, some command line argument I should be passing such that omitting it would cause subtle problems, or something?

Answer 1

XDE is launched without any special flags or arguments. You can create a simple shortcut that just launches the EXE and that will work.
