[Kunal]

Hi, i need to put a shortcut on a remote computer and have it ask for what is the target pc.

below is what i have but it doesnt work when i run it in autoit

Global $inputbox = InputBox("What's the computer name?", "Please provide Computer Name?")

Global $link = @DesktopDir & "\my_shortcut.lnk"

FileCopy($link, "\\" & $inputbox "\c$\Documents and Settings\All users\Desktop")

Can anyone help?

The correct syntax would be:

FileCopy($link, "\\" & $inputbox &"\c:\Documents and Settings\All users\Desktop")

$TEST=FileCopy($link, "\\" & $inputbox &"\c$\Documents and Settings\All users\Desktop\my_shortcut.lnk")
If $TEST <> 1 Then MsgBox(16, "Error on ...", $inputbox)

Try it:

$comp_name = InputBox("What's the computer name?", "Please provide Computer Name?")

If Not $comp_name = "" Then
    FileCreateShortcut(@ProgramFilesDir & "\MyProgram\file.exe", @ScriptDir & "\file.lnk", @ProgramFilesDir & "\MyProgram")
    FileCopy(@ScriptDir & "\file.lnk", "\\" & $comp_name & "\c:\Documents and Settings\All users\Desktop")
EndIf

A function FileCreateShortcut() returned 1 if success or 0 if lnk cannot be created, but not returned path and name to lnk file.

Only local drives use ":" like "c:" . Networks go with "$" like "\\127.0.0.1\c$" .

Oh ok, from the script above. How do i set the vars so that it reads the file form a network share as in \\server , just not sure on what to put as the variables to get the script working.

thanks
