-Next, we'll create a shortcut for BCML. Search Python in Windows search, then right click and hit <code>Open file location<code/> on <code>IDLE (Python 3.8 64-bit)<code/>. Right click the shortcut it opens to, and click <code>Open file location<code/> again. This should bring you to <code>pythonw.exe<code/>. Right click the exe and hit <code>Create Shortcut<code/>. Right click the shortcut you created, hit <code>Properties<code/>, then add <code> -m bcml<code/> to the end of the text in the first box. Rename the shortcut to <code>BCML<code/>, then drag it onto the taskbar to pin it. Now, you can use this shortcut to launch BCML.
