Hey there . I hope no one minds me bumping a thread from 2 months ago. I adapted this code for myself and it worked great, so thanks.

But one thing i was wondering about is it's only compatible with .lnk shortcuts. While oFolderItem.IsLink will return true for both a .lnk and a .pif, it is only compatible with .lnk's.

So when oFolderItem is equal to a .pif file, (take for example "Aladdin.pif"), it crashes at the code "oShellLink = oFolderItem.GetLink", telling me that it could not find the specified file.

(Even though my profile says .NET 2002 it's based on this code so vb6 code is fine)


Just to fill you's in about the program i'm making, It's called shortcutter. Given a "Game Folders" directory (a folder in which there are folders for every game inside) and a "Shortcut Destination" directory, it finds all the executables for any game in that folder (one game at a time), and accurately predicts which is the main game executable (and if you click accept, or you can choose a different executable from the listview), it creates a shortcut for you. This way you can make shortcuts to abt 50 games in under a minute, so i find it quite useful.

So what i am trying to get it to do now is, at the user's choice, ignore making shortcuts for games that already have one in the "Shortcut Destination" directory.

But yeah, half of them are shortcuts to dos games which presents a problem.
So does anyone know how to make this code compatible with .pif's?

Thanks in advance
