Hello Peter,<br>
Does Windows 8.1 have any kind of menu where shortcuts are created?<br>
The link for KMyMoney should be there.<br>
Otherwise, go to the bin folder in your screenshot, and look for a<br>
kmymoney.exe and run it. That should start the program.<br>
If that works, I guess there must be some way to create a shortcut to<br>
start the application from a more convenient location.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Alvaro<br>
