Assuming you are using a relatively modern version of windows, you can still do it with windows explorer; double click on the .zip file and it should open like any other folder. Just drag and drop from there.

Post a screenshot of the shortcut's properties (where you changed it), and your installation directory. We should be able to sort it more easily from there.

I always use /, and that works. Make sure it is actually /, not \.

Typically, you would extract files to your proper BZ2 folder, such as "C:\Program Files\Battlezone II" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Battlezone II" (if you are on a 64-bit version of windows).

Then from there, the best thing to do is COPY your existing Battlezone II shortcut, rename it "Forgotten Enemies" or something like that. And then right click, select 'Properties', and then edit the 'target'

If the target says:
"C:\Program Files\Battlezone II\bzone.exe"

you make it say something like this
"C:\Program Files\Battlezone II\bzone.exe" /config FE13.cfg

Note that there should be spaces on both sides of /config.

I'll try that. Is there a download that gets EVERYTHING, from flesh to FE?

Complete downloads are not recommended. Shortcuts, for example, are based on what directory things are installed into.

I recommend actually thinking and understanding what is being said to you. Accuracy counts -- BZ2 treats / and \ differently, and if you think they're the same, you'll be out of luck. Close only counts with nukes. BZ2 requires you to think before during and after playing.
