Ini

I have this chunk of code....

Func ShortC()                    ;Writes keys
   $Exist = FileExists ("Keys")

   If $Exist = 0 Then        ;checks to see is file exists  
      DirCreate("Keys")        ;if not creates it
   EndIf

   $Path = FileSelectFolder("Choose a file.", "", 0)                  ;gets values
   $File = FileOpenDialog("File EXE", "C:\Program Files\", "Files (*.exe)", 1) 
   Sleep(500)
   IniWrite( ".\Keys\" & $Key, $Key, "F6P", $Path)                    ;then write the values
   IniWrite( ".\Keys\" & $Key, $Key, "F6F", $File)
EndFunc

The problem i'm having is that it won't write the ini file, if i use regular input boxes for the path and file it will write it but if i use the FileSelcetFolder and FileOpenDialog it won't write

non-related question:

also, i want to take a file from a folder and make a shortcut of it to put on the desktop. I found the FileCreatShortcut command but i don't understand how to use it

The issue is that the FileSelectFolder/FileOpenDialog are changing the default directory ( i think)

This works fine:

IniWrite( @scriptdir & "\Keys\" & $Key, $Key, "F6P", $Path)                   ;then write the values
  IniWrite( @scriptdir & "\Keys\" & $Key, $Key, "F6F", $File)

thanx that worked, but i still need help on this issue

In its simplest form:

FileCreateShortcut("C:\a file from a folder.exe", @DesktopDir & "\Shortcut to whatever.lnk")

ok, i have this

FileCreateShortcut("C:\Program Files\ShortCut\Short Cut.au3", @DesktopDir & "\Shortcut to whatever.lnk")

i still don't understand what to put in the "\Shortcut to whatever.ink"

ELL, not eye. lnk is short for Link.

ok, it stand for link, but i still don't know what to put there, a path to where?

Where you want the shortcut to be created at, like the help file says. The shortcut has to exist somewhere on the system, too.
