If you are simply trying to embed an icon into an application this can be done using the resource file (*.res). If you are trying to create a shortcut to an application on your own (without using an installer utility) you should see the MSDN documentation on Shell Links... http://search.microsoft.com/gomsuri.asp?n=1&c=rp_Results&target=http://msdn.mic rosoft.com/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/Shell/programmersguide/shell_int/shel l_int_programming/shortcuts/shortcut.asp Jeffrey "botman" Broome _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
