Hi, I got a new computer as a present, and I installed my civ complete to it. For some reason it doesn´t have shortcuts. How can I retrieve them / play vanilla or warlords.
Shortcuts.

It doesn't seem to create the shortcuts under Vista/Win 7 so you have to find the .exe files and create the shortcuts yourself.
Some people find the games listed in the games folder (on the right hand side of the start menu). It's probably easiest to check there first.
Others have to search the hard drive to find the folder it was installed to and create their own shortcuts. You may find it simply installed under "program files\firaxis games\..." (mine is), or you may find it has installed to "<Logon Name>\AppData\Roaming\..." where <Logon Name> is your login on the PC. AppData is a hidden folder so you will have to make sure that you have got windows explorer to show hidden files or folders or you will not find it. I'm afraid it's just a question of searching to find out where it has been installed on your computer. They will be in a folder called something with civilization in it (not sure what complete calls it, mine's called Sid Meier's Civilization 4), but Warlords will be in a subfolder of that called Warlords and BTS in another subfolder of the main Civ folder called Beyond the Sword. The files are Civilization4.exe, Civ4Warlords.exe and Civ4BeyondSword.exe if you have to resort to searching for them by name.
