It should look similar to this: Right click the “Magic the Gathering Online” version and then select “Uninstall/Change” and follow the prompts. Repeat this process until all of the Magic Online programs have been uninstalled.

- Assuming you followed the directions above, paste the following into TextEdit:

with the path to the mtgo.exe file.

- From now on, all you have to do is double click the file to launch MTGO!
- Optional: You can replace the icon for the MTGO file with something nicer.
