Any way to save a shortcut to my webcam in VLC to the desktop? I just want a 1 click open. 

Thanks! 

Yes, when you go into Capture Device click on the tick box for "Show more options" and it will give you the command line parameters you need to add to create a shortcut using the current options you selected.

If you only have a single capture device then simply "dshow://" should work on Windows to use the defaults.
