1.You should have a shortcut on your desktop which looks a little bit like a shield with EQ on it.

2.Right click it and select properties.

3.The "Target" field (the one with your EverQuest directory) should have something like this in it:

Code:

"C:\Program Files\EverQuest\EverQuest.exe"

This means it will run the EQ patcher for you when you click on the shortcut. The patcher then has a link to start EQ in it. (EverQuest.exe is Verants patcher, not the EQ executable)

4.So in the target field put this (get quotes in right places!):

Code:

"C:\Program Files\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme

Now when you double click the shortcut it tells it to go straight into EverQuest, without running the patcher first.

5.Click Apply, then OK to close the window.

Hope this helps!
