Archive: Create Desktop Shortcuts?


Hey hey -

Creating shortcuts work perfectly on everything except making one inside of $DESKTOP. Anyone else have problems?

I've got no problems with it. Could you post the part of the code here please? Then we can check it for faults.


Speaking of desktop icons...on multi-user systems, do the icons go to the user desktop or the default desktop?

I mean, there's C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP, and there's C:\WINDOWS\PROFILES\ALEX\DESKTOP. Where would the icon go?

The the shortcut will be created on the desktop of the current user.
