SHORTCUTS AGAIN! : )

[Dhugal]

Hi all,

Thanks for your replies regarding the shortcut question.

However, I am still unable to achieve what I origionaly
set out to do... : (

Ok, let me explain it again.

I am writing an installation program, in vb, that will
install several files etc. The location of these files
vary.

Once the files are installed I need my program to create
shortcuts to the newly installed exe's. (Ok simple enough
just use the shellcreatelink API)

Well not quite because I need to specify the 'Start In' dir
of these shortcuts. To clarify what I mean by the 'Start In'
dir I mean the location where the executable will actually
be started.

Or to put it another way, go into the properties of any shortcut you have, go to the 'Shortcut' tab, and look at the 'Start In' section. (I think this section may be called 'Working Dir' on NT).

Ok so basicly I need to daynamicly set up shortcuts, spoecifying their target and START IN!!!


ANY IDEAS?????????

WEll, the Statup directory is the last thing written in the lnk file so it shouldn't be hard to change that. But it seems like it put's nullchars after each char so it's probably written in unicode
