Thanks, David!
Tom: The clipboard wouldn't have worked for what I wanted to do, as
you'll see below.
This is what I came up with:
Goal: To access SlimServer running on my desktop computer while on my
laptop computer, without having to look up the IP address for the
desktop PC.
local_ip_addr = net.get_local_ip_addr
File.Delete("K:\\SlimServer on SueXP.url")
Exec.ToFile("K:\\SlimServer on SueXP.url", "[InternetShortcut]")
Exec.ToFile("K:\\SlimServer on SueXP.url", "URL=http://"; ++
local_ip_addr ++ ":9000/")
Result: Runs at startup on desktop computer. Creates an internet
shortcut on a network drive which I can use to launch SlimServer from
my laptop.
I have not tested it on startup yet. My only concern is that there is
sometimes a bit of a lag before the Netdisk (K drive) becomes
available. I'm pretty sure it would load before PowerPro, though,
since it runs as a service.
Suggestions for improvement are welcome!
