        I think your post is too small. You should have posted the entire .dsp file as text, .cpp and .h or probably base64 encoding of the .zip file having the entire source:-D I have never wasted time worrying about such insignificant things.

            Hi, Thank you for at least offerring a suggestion, i appreciate it. I am unable to find the article you refer to? Can you provide a link to the article? Your product "Sonork" looks very interesting and I will have to check it out when i get a chance. why didn't you include a Peer-to-Peer file sharing system in it? I can get a minimum of $25 per 1,000 opt in email address per day if you generate opt in addressesfrom your customer base. Thank you again, and let me know where i can find your article. The problem is more interesting than I thought at first since I can get it to work if I compile with a UNICODE SWITCH turn on but then i would need 2 version of the code which is not acceptable or elegant.

                  I develop on Windows 98 using Visual Studio 6 I noticed that the code below will NOT create a link on Windows 2000. Since I do NOT have Windows 2000 I can't debug this code so i am wondering if anyone has a solution to how to get the code below to create a lInk on windows 2000? Where UINT uLinkLoc = CSIDL_DESKTOP; Is there a way to write a SINGLE class that can create a link on the Desktop in both Windows 98 and Windows 2000 without compiling 2 separate versions(one UNICODE and one ASCII)??? bool CInstall::CreateShortCut( LPCSTR lpszSourceFile, LPCSTR lpszSourceDir, UINT uLinkLoc, LPCSTR lpszDesc, bool IsFolder ) { HRESULT hResult = NULL; IShellLink* pShellLink = NULL; bool rc = false; LPCSTR lpszDestination = NULL; ITEMIDLIST *id = NULL; TCHAR szLinkLoc[MAX_PATH] = ""; TCHAR szShellPath[MAX_PATH] = ""; CString sLinkLoc; sLinkLoc.Empty(); CString sLink; sLink.Empty(); // Initialize IShellLink interface hResult = CoInitialize(NULL); // Get pointer to IShellLink Interface hResult = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ShellLink, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IShellLink, (void**) &pShellLink); if (SUCCEEDED(hResult)) { //Cache, Fonts, History, NetHood, Personal, Printhood, Programs, // Recent, SendTo, Start Menu, Startup, Templates, ShellNew if (uLinkLoc == CSIDL_APPDATA) { sLinkLoc = "AppData"; } else if (uLinkLoc == CSIDL_COOKIES) { sLinkLoc = "Cookies"; } else if (uLinkLoc == CSIDL_DESKTOP) { sLinkLoc = "Desktop"; } else if (uLinkLoc == CSIDL_STARTMENU) { sLinkLoc = "Start Menu"; } else if (uLinkLoc == CSIDL_STARTUP) { sLinkLoc = "Startup"; } else if (uLinkLoc == CSIDL_FAVORITES) { sLinkLoc = "Favorites"; } if (sLinkLoc.GetLength()>0) { GetShellFolderPath(sLinkLoc, szShellPath); sLink = szShellPath; } else { SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(NULL, uLinkLoc, &id); SHGetPathFromIDList(id, szLinkLoc); sLink = szLinkLoc; } sLink += "\\"; sLink += lpszDesc; sLink += ".lnk"; lpszDestination = (LPCSTR)sLink; if (IsFolder) { // Requies: #Include hResult = _mkdir(lpszDestination); // Clean up pShellLink->Release(); CoUninitialize(); if (SUCCEEDED(hResult)) { return true; } else { return false; } } IPersistFile* ppf = NULL; // Set path to shortcut target pShellLink->SetPath(lpszSourceFile); // Add Start Directory if(lpszSourceDir)

Okay, some people post in here by accident, but those too arrogant to accept their mistake are left out for the wolves (if you will pardon the obvious pun here). Now, tell me honestly, is anybody else here having extreme difficulty accepting this man is who he says he is? Even the Bill I remember wasn't *this* pigheaded! David Wulff, The Bullshît King

The fact you then openly state it is arrogance and not ignorance that forces you to continue making a prat out of yourself is what drove me to contribute.

                                    Michael, As a contributor providing free source code I certainly have a "right" to ask whatever I want to. And there is no big deal to the fact that I may have posted a question in the wrong category--are you for real? are you that anal? Get a girlfriend dude! The FACT still remains that you prefer to criticize someone rather than to prove that you have some real knowledge--I gues s if you knew the answer you would have showed us how to do it and bragged that everybody "should know this!" Get that girlfriend fast... :-O :laugh: :laugh: Bill SerGio, The Infomercial King
