Desktop-Symbols
Hello,

i have written an installer with NSIS.
The installer makes desktop-shortcuts by using the $desktop - constant.
My problem is that the shortcuts are in the user-specific desktop-folder. But i need them in the public desktop folder.
Can anyone tell me a solution for that problem?

It's all in the manual. Please read the item about the $DESKTOP variable: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html#4.2.3

That's where i got the idea of using the desktop-constant. But i can't find anything about if it's for a special user desktop or the public desktop.
Isn't there a way?

Sounds like you are confusing all users with 'public'. Read the description for $DESKTOP again.
