how do I create a desktop shortcut for spore

Hello.

1. Go into your computer.

2. Go to where you saved Spore, default should be Local disk C:/ Program Files or Program Files (86) if using 64x version/ Spore/ Sporebin/

3. Right click the Sporeapp, click Send to, then Desktop. You should now have a shortcut on your desktop.

If you installed the game in Origin or Steam, then it should be where you saved Origin or Steam.
