[chirp_users] dumbest question - how to launch CHIRP?
I downloaded current version for Windows and ran the installer. I see CHIRP folder on my desktop, but when I go in, I don't see any application or executable file (except Uninstall and w9xpopen, neither of which launch/start CHIRP). I'm not computer illiterate for heaven's sake but feel like an idiot not seeing what to click to start CHIRP. Thx folks for getting this noobie off the ground!
Try "C:\Program Files (x86)\CHIRP\chirpw.exe".

Long answer:
Double click "My Computer", then expand "OS (C)" (or substitute the drive letter for whichever drive is your boot drive if not "C:"), then expand "Program Files (x86)", then click "CHIRP", then right click and hold "chirpw.exe", drag it to the desktop, release the right mouse button and left click "Create shortcuts here"

After installing CHIRP in Windows there is a CHIRP folder and shortcut created in the Start Menu. I usually pin a copy to the top of the Start Menu so it is never more than 2 click away.
