Airwolf Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I am trying to delete a *.lnk shortcut file from the desktop at the end of my script. Since the script will be run in different user accounts, I need to know how to get to the current user's desktop. I tried: FileDelete("@DesktopDir\Delete AutoPatcher folder.lnk") Any Ideas?

JSThePatriot Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I am trying to delete a *.lnk shortcut file from the desktop at the end of my script. Since the script will be run in different user accounts, I need to know how to get to the current user's desktop. I tried: FileDelete("@DesktopDir\Delete AutoPatcher folder.lnk") Any Ideas? First things first your code should be more like... FileDelete(@DesktopDir & "\Delete AutoPatcher folder.lnk") Notice the use of the & and where the quotes are placed. Now if the above doesnt work for you then you may want to swap @DesktopDir with @DesktopCommonDir. I could have swore it wouldnt have worked in my case, but it did! So give it a try and let me know.
