This thread is for discussions of Create a File Shortcut.

This code comes in handy when creating a setup program the creates shortcuts to programs. I like it because it works with few lines of code. Thank you very much! I've been looking for this for a very long time!
Happy programming!

Hello !

When the shortcut is created, how can I read with VB or another language the value of arguments and targetpath ?

Thanks !

I'm using this code but sometimes i get the message "set objshell  doesn't declare" i've assign the "WSHOM.OCX" things and the "dim " things..
BUT
sometimes it works, but sometime it doesn't...  Help me please

Hello,
     I have used your code and had success adding in the Ocx and the Dim statements, However... When I run the application I recieve a ComException. the report goes somethinglike this, ComException was unhandled: unable to save "C:\...\...\...\...\Link.lnk"

     In the error report I retrived the Com error number which is -2147467259. the error occurs the first time I run this statement: objshortcut.Save()

     Any Help Would Be Appreciated
