Using Canvas to get rid of Options command

Question

I've read that you can use a full screen canvas to get rid of the default "Options" menu but I can't find any information on how to do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Neil

Answer 1

use mycomputer to browse to the directory where javaw is located
(usually c:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin but it depends) right click on javaw.exe
and create a shortcut then right click on the short cut and go to
'Porperties' a window will pop up with 2 tabs a General and a Shortcut
click on the Shortcut path, and look at the field labeled target it should look
like C:\path\to\javaw\javaw.exe now just add the parameters that you would
normaly add to java.exe when you run your program from the command line
i.e. c:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\javaw.exe MyClass
If you want you can also click change Icon and change the icon for that shortcut to
something else, either one of the included icons, or a custom icon that you made.
Click apply and okay and your done
(Note: You can rename the shortcut to whatever you want, it doesnt
have to be 'Shortcut to javaw') Now double click on the shortcut and watch as your
java program runs without showing the command window.
Hope that helps!
