Hit the windows key. On the menu that pop up, pick "computer".
You will get a new window. double click disk C. Doing so, you will see several folders (yellow, with a name after it). Look for one called SWGEmu, double click it (if you can not find it there, double click a folder named program files. This will give a lot of folders, look for SWGEmu there). When in the SWGEmu folder, scroll down to the bottom. You will see a file with the name "swgemu_login.cfg". Right click it. on the menu, pick the first option "open". This should open the file in notepad. If this is not happening, close what ever pops up and right click the file again and pick the option "open with". In the list you get, pick the option notepad.
Your file should look some thing like this:
Code:
[ClientGame]
loginServerPort0=44453
loginServerAddress0=core3.swgemu.com
[Station]
subscriptionFeatures=1
gameFeatures=65535
To this
Code:
[ClientGame]
loginServerPort0=44453
loginServerAddress0=login.swgemu.com
[Station]
subscriptionFeatures=1
gameFeatures=65535
Close the program. When you do, you are asked if you wish to save the change, do so.
When you have closed your notepad you will be back to look at the file. Just above it, you will see a file named SWGEmu.exe (you might not see the .exe, but the file will have a symbol to the left with the SWG logo). Right click that file and pick the option "send to". You get a new menu, pick the option desktop. You have now made a shortcut to the file, so that you can start the game from your desktop and not from the SWGEmu folder.
