Shortcuts to the Desktop

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Thanks for the tip Chris, but Martin's program keeps placing the "test" 
under my root directory (c:).  The installation I have created can place 
the right LNK files in \Windows\Desktop and Windows\Start Menu\Programs. 
 This works fine on my machine and anyone who has accepted the default 
values in a Windows Installation.

I guess, what I am looking for is a way to find the path to the default 
windows directory so that I can change the copyFile line to 
\path\Desktop and \path\Start Menu\Programs.

As you can probably tell, I am new to the programming world (born again, 
since my last language was Pascal... many eons ago!), so any help would 
be greatly appreciated.
