Hi,

how may I determine if a specific icon/shortcut exists on the current user desktop , and altimately alter it?

Thanks for nay nudge in the correct direction

BTW - I know of ShortcutInfo and ShortCutDir, but I was looking for a way to determine if a shortcut is on the public desktop or the user desktop - etc. Almost like the FileItemize command..

Thanks

I recommend using FileExist. keep in mind that the underling file contains the file extension .lnk.

Code (winbatch) Select Expand

desktop = ShortCutDir("Desktop")              ; User
commondesktop = ShortCutDir("Common Desktop") ; Public
ret = FileExist( desktop : "Test.lnk" )
if ret
   Pause("Shortcut","Exists.")
else
   Pause("Shortcut","Does Not Exist.")
endif
