The ordinary user may use this to create a shortcut to his/her game on the desktop so that PCSX2 will run the game immediately. To do this make a link to PCSX2 main executable (pcsx2.exe) and update the target field of this link, it will look something like:
"C:\PS2\pcsx2.exe" -skipbios "C:\PS2\yourgame.iso"
And thus you'll be able to start C:\PS2\yourgame.iso right from your desktop!
