This is a convenience method I use to get into Western.
First, locate your Western Quake.bat file. Right click it, and send it to desktop as shortcut. You will now have a direct shortcut to Western! I noticed the ICI guys included 2 .ico files with the last Beta release, you can switch your icon to one of those for an authentic-looking shortcut. If you do not the shorcut on desktop, just cut and paste it into your "Start" menu next to original Quake 3.
I have found that using this shortcut also eliminates some mixing between standard Quake 3's, and Western mod's sound files. I have played Quake 3 to find that the sounds from Western are there! I do not have this problem with the shorcut.
