okay this is what i was looking for:

**creating shortcut, instructions by Ayeshteni

If you have a shortcut of EU2 on your desktop do the following.

1) Copy it and paste it back onto the desktop. (you should now have a 'copy of EU2 shortcut' (or somesuch) on your desktop.
2) Rename it Watk_AGCEEP (or whatever you wish to call the shortcut).
3) Right click the shortcut and go into properties.

you will see various fields. The two important ones are:

Start in: This field has to point to the EU2 folder where you have Kasperus' watk map EU2. If you have just replaced the vanilla map in your ordinary EU2 folder, then this field will be correct and you do not need to do anything. If you made a copy of your EU2 folder and placed Kasperus' map mod in your copy, then the start in field has to point to THAT copy of EU2.

Mine for example is here (I named the 'Copy of Europa Universalis 2' as KASMAP Europa Universalis 2):

"C:\Program Files\Paradox Entertainment\KASMAP Europa Universalis 2"

Target: This is the second important field in the shortcut properties. This has to target szmik's mod (the ExtraWatk folder which has the AGCEEP stuff in it). The target field will be nearly identical to the above field, but with two major difference: It has to have the location of the .exe file in the main folder (this should already be included in the field - check to make sure it points to the right folder though) and the ExtraWatk folder 'tacked' on to the end like this:

"C:\Program Files\Paradox Entertainment\KASMAP Europa Universalis 2\EU2.exe" ExtraWatk

Note that the ExtraWatk name is placed AFTER the quotation marks. Also remember to leave a space between the quotation mark and the ExtraWatk name.

After this is done, press 'Apply' and then OK. You should now be able to click on that shortcut and it will take you to ExtraWatk.
