    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,
         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

    Hello,
         I have used your code and it has worked well for me till now. I have added the .Ocx and the Dim statements and all has gone well. However now that I run the program I recieve a COMException.

         The error number form the report says it's -2147467259. it is raised when I call Objshortcut.Save(),and the error reads "COMException was unhandled: Unable to save file: C:\...\...\Link.lnk

         Any Help Would Be Appreciated
