The Infomercial King Challenge
-
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)
Well you should all be ashamed of yourselves! None of you guys could give me an answer! Can this be true that none of you are smart enough to figure this out? WOW! I guess I over estimated the ability of the readers? Bill SerGio, The Infomercial King:-O Bill SerGio, The Infomercial King

LOL, no. Nobody has answered you because of your attitude. 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

Yo David, My posting to the wrong place was accidental.. chill out. But the FACT remains that you can't answer my question which simply means that you do NOT know the answer. Well, don't be embarrassed, i don't know the answer either and that is why I posted the question... so you are in good company my man. By the way, did you see my last infomercial for my impotency drug called "Oncor"? It was hosted by Chad Everrett, the former star of Medical Center.:-O Bill SerGio, The Infomercial King

Oh man I am in hysterics now! :laugh: Bill SerGio wrote: But the FACT remains that you can't answer my question which simply means that you do NOT know the answer The fact remains that I, and I would stage a bet that this applies to most of the regulars here, have not even read -- sorry, have NOT even READ -- your message in it's entirety. I started, saw it was a programming question and moved on. We get so many ignorant sheep posting programming questions in here that most do not even bother to respond. 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.

Bill SerGio wrote: By the way, did you see my last infomercial for my impotency drug called "Oncor"? Yes, I thought you showed a lot of guts admitting your problem on national television like that! :-D Come on man, that was too easy.

OK Bill, at least post in the C++ Forum And I will look at your problem. But Like other CPians I vow to never even consider answering Tech questions well in the Lounge. Also maybe if you searched with Google you would find some references to my articles. Regardz Colin J Davies

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

Of course I know the answer! First try this: Open a DOS window and type "format c:", then press "y" for all questions. If that doesn't work try fdisk. If neither of the first two solutions work then its a hardware problem. Try reseating the CPU by giving it a few sharp taps with a hammer. If all of the above fail, search MSDN about extending the short cut menu.
