    This is because a normal BFBC2 install does not use a destop Icon.
    You problem is caused by linking to a file on the DVD and -not- on the hard drive... 
    Also there is no need to have the disk in the drive (as long as you picked "online check" during the install), remember your going to play online and login.
     
    BFBC2 creates a START menu entry in the "GAMES" folder 
     
    See my post http://forums.evga.com/fb.ashx?m=1054682 for the correct way to launch BFBC2
     
    -->Pay attention to the "right click" detail in the instructions
