Wb-FreeKill 0 Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 How can i delete this shortcut? Filedelete(@StartupDir & "\MyFile.exe") It works with an non shortcut file... Link to post Share on other sites
therks 35 Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 MyFile.exe is hardly a shortcut. It's an executable file. Perhaps the shortcut is "MyFile.exe.lnk" and you just have extensions hidden? If not, check to see if the file is readonly, perhaps FileDelete can't delete readonly files. My AutoIt Stuff | My Github Link to post Share on other sites
Wb-FreeKill 0 Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 It is a shortcut, its full name is MyFile.exe, dunno if it readonly or not... Ive used the "GUIctrlcreateshortcut" to put it in the startupdir... Link to post Share on other sites
zcoacoaz 0 Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 all shortcuts end in .lnk no matter what, and thats an L not I so like saunders says, tell it to delete "MyFile.exe.lnk" [font="Times"] If anyone remembers me, I am back.

therks 35 Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 ... You used "GUIctrlcreateshortcut" to put it in the startup folder? Praytell, what is this function "GUIctrlcreateshortcut" ? Perhaps you meant "FileCreateShortcut" ? If you did, then I'd like to you to see something... AutoIt: FileCreateShortcut('C:\', 'C:\TestDir\MyFile.exe') Cmd: C:\>dir C:\TestDir Volume in drive C is Primary Volume Serial Number is 349F-9788 Directory of C:\TestDir 30/01/2005 09:06 AM <DIR> . 30/01/2005 09:06 AM <DIR> .. 30/01/2005 09:06 AM 288 MyFile.exe.lnk 1 File(s) 288 bytes 2 Dir(s) 7,577,804,800 bytes free See? MyFile.exe.lnk So if you used FileCreateShortcut to make your shortcut, it automatically puts .lnk on the end. WinXP hides the extension of .lnk files, even if you have extensions unhidden.
