    Resolved [RESOLVED] Making desktop shortcut while installing

    Can someone help me in let my programs installler make e desktop shortcut?
    I have used Package & development wizard to make a installation setup, but this wizard can't make a desktop shortcut.
    I have looked at the solution of W. Baldwin where you have to change a line in the frmsetup1's form_load event. But i don't know where i can find this load event.
    I hope that someone can explain that to me.
