Valik Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 FileCreateShortcut has a few limitations that can be overcome by using third-party utilities: Icon must either be an ico file or the very first icon of an EXE or DLL. You can not provide an icon index. You cannot define the window run state to be "Minimized" or "Maximized"; the shortcuts always use "Normal."Why are the above limitations in place? It looks like the IShellLink interface supports them and I don't see any mention of a minimum OS higher than 95/NT. The icon thing isn't so important, but why not allow users to specify the show state? That could be useful since it allows all the SW_* states (SW_HIDE could be particularly useful (or nefarious)).I was just curious, I probably wasn't around when/if this has been brought up before.
CyberSlug Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 I'm also wondering the same things. Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!
