Create desktop shortcut for Android Studio to open a specific project
How do I create a desktop shortcuts (in Windows) to open a specific project in Android Studio?
The projects are in in C:Users\AndroidStudioProjects but the directory does not contain any file which appear to be associated with Android Studio. (it contains .git, .gradle, .idea, ...)
I'm a bit annoyed by having to open the last project (happens automatically), and then having to use the menu in the IDE to launch another instance with the project I want, as it appears to trigger a resource intensive gradle sync on each of the opened projects.

Have the same problem, Android Studio opens all the projects opened when I exited!
Half of an answer is present in uncheck automatic opening when launching AS in AS settings
So, without automatic project opening, Android Studio is launched with a 'poor' UI, poor startup Android Studio window but providing a recent project selection list on the left part of the window ;-), just click on the desired project, then let's go!
Using the first part above (uncheck the automatic opening) and in Windows (Win7 for me), create a shortcut targeting the Android Studio application; open the properties of the shortcut then add the path of the .ideaworkspace.xml of your project to the command-line e.g. C:Androidandroid-studiobinstudio64.exe D:2-AndroidminimalistApp.ideaworkspace.xml then close with OK button to validate the changes!
Now when you (double)click on this shortcut Android Studio will start in 2 steps: minimal UI then your project will be launched.
Of course, you can create as many different shortcuts as you want to target different project!
