How can I create an "application shortcut" on my desktop that goes straight to QIE without any popup windows?

Is there a way to create a shortcut that launches QIE as if it were a standard application?

Yes,  create a new shortcut and point it to the Chrome browser using the following syntax in the "target" field:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"  --app=http://{address}:{port}/qie/launcher.html

If you append "?appwin" to the end of the "target" field, then it won't open 2 windows each time you launch QIE.  The "target" field would therefore be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"  --app=http://{address}:{port}/qie/launcher.html?appwin
