Welcome to the forum.

I don't have Daemon Tools and I don't have any need for it, so the help I'll be able to give you will be under these conditions.

Your _Desktop function looks a little weird to me - especially "Return" statements.

Func _Desktop($shortcut)

; Delete a Desktop shortcut.

If FileExists(@DesktopDir & '\' & $shortcut) Then

Return FileChangeDir(@DesktopDir) And FileDelete($shortcut)

ElseIf FileExists(@DesktopCommonDir & '\' & $shortcut) Then

Return FileChangeDir(@DesktopCommonDir) And FileDelete($shortcut)

EndIf

EndFunc

"Return" statement is used usually to pass something back OR to force a return before the function execution comes to a natural end.

In your case "Return" is not justified.

Your function should be:

Func _Desktop($shortcut)
 ; Delete a Desktop shortcut.
    If FileExists(@DesktopDir & '\' & $shortcut) Then
        FileChangeDir(@DesktopDir)
        FileDelete($shortcut)
    ElseIf FileExists(@DesktopCommonDir & '\' & $shortcut) Then
        FileChangeDir(@DesktopCommonDir)
        FileDelete($shortcut)
    EndIf
EndFunc

I think he does that to consolidate the return values of the individual functions into his own return value as boolean...

It is functionally OKEY DOKEY.
