Suddenly problems trying to "Create Shortcut"

[Kewpycat]

Lately I seem to be having a problem with the "Create Shortcut" function (More tools-Create Shortcut)

The shortcut gets created, but does not work. If I click on it, nothing happens (except for a small spinning circle for a few seconds and disappears)

The reason it doesn't work can be seen in the properties. The "Target" is pointing to "chrome_proxy.exe" as in the following example:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Slimjet\chrome_proxy.exe" --profile-directory=Default --app-id=okkolgldfknecfjnhhglfopimelbaceh

It should point to Slimjet.exe as in the following example: (from an older, working shortcut)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Slimjet\slimjet.exe" --profile-directory=Default --app-id=bcdaicdlffaahimncapcmjecfmknnnpc

I'm not sure why now the shortcuts are being created with the incorrect path, perhaps I've changed something in Slimjet to cause this? I uninstalled Chrome to see if it helped, but it did not.

I'm on: Version 23.0.5.0 (based on Chromium 74.0.3729.108) (Official Build) (32-bit)

Confirmed. I don't know of a permanent solution, but one can manually replace Chrome-proxy with Slimjet and correct it that way.

Looks like the problem is not exclusive to Slimjet.

When trying to research chrome_proxy.exe, I found this in a discussion related to the same problem occuring in the Brave browser:

Additional Information:
EASY FIX BELOW!!!
The shortcut is easily fixed by changing the target from chrome_proxy.exe to brave.exe
Meaning that all you’d have to do is either fix chrome_proxy to properly forward the PWA shortcut, or make the shortcut point to brave.exe on creation.

The above was dated April 18; a month later the discussion was closed with no apparent resolution to the issue. (other than the "fix" mentioned by Oftentired and also in the discussion in the Brave browser forum)

I need help.
I want to create a shortcut that opens the tab in incognito mode, this is correct, works well:
"D:\PORTABLEAPPS\_Mis Portables+Usados1\Slimjet\slimjet.exe" -incognito

But, i want to create a shortcut that opens the tab in incognito mode and also opens google.com

Thanks for help.

you should have been able to find it by reviewing the chromium command line switches

"[YOUR PATH TO SLIMJET]\slimjet.exe" -incognito -app-launch-url-for-shortcuts-menu-item www.google.com
