FileCreateShortcut possible bug

[davezub]

Can somebody test FileCreateShortcut and see if it working the way I think it should work. Here is my code.

FileCreateShortcut("\\cg\ld\packages\OMS\OMS_printers.exe","C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Guidance\OMS Backup Printers.lnk","","","OMS Backup Printers",@SystemDir & "\shell32.dll","","61",@SW_SHOWNORMAL)

It fails with a zero. If I create the Guidance folder it works. If I create the shortcut in:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs

It works.

I coded around it by first creating the guidance folder first. I running the latest beta 131.

This function does not create folder for you. so if guidance does not exist you have to do it before

Cool so working as designed. May want to consider this as an enhancement to future version of this great program.
