[RESOLVED] Creating shortcuts on desktop without having a form

[Chris001]

Hi, I'd like to create a shortcut on the desktop and I found some code posted by RhinoBull that works great, but it requires a form and my app doesn't have a form.

It contains this line: sDeskPath = GetSpecialFolder(Me.hwnd, CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY)
The Me.hwnd is causing the problem.

Can this be changed so it works without a form?

Thanks.

you can pass 0& for that parameter:

sDeskPath = GetSpecialFolder(0&, CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY)
