When I installed lily on xp it put the shortcut on the desktop, how 
would I run it from the 'other' directory? right now all the files, 8 of 
them each time I drop the .ly file onto the lily icon, are written to 
the desktop. Do I move the shortcut icon into the new directory and drag 
the .ly file onto it there?
