Re: [Unattended] Help with creating a shortcut.
Thanks. It works to create the shortcut, but not with the description I give it. Here is my example shortcut.pl --description "Excel" "c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\excel.exe" special:AllUsersDesktop Instead of the shortcut using a large E it usese a little one. The syntax appears correct but does not work. Is this a bug or something I am doing incorrectly. P.S. It does not appear to make any difference if I use quotes around the special:AllUsersDesktoppart.

Hi, I just manually ran that line, and it created the icon on my desktop, icon name was excel but the comment reads Excel. So I'm confused, is the icon not the right one? P.S. It does not appear to make any difference if I use quotes around the special:AllUsersDesktop part. Your right, the shortcut.pl example is without the quotes.

Hi, you don't need to use shortcut.pl with todo.pl. For example: :: OPTIONAL: Install Charred Dirt @Echo off echo Installing todo.pl timeit %0 shortcut.pl c:\games\CDirt\cdirt.exe special:AllUsersDesktop\Charred Dirt shortcut.pl c:\games\CDirt\cdirt.exe special:AllUsersStartMenu\Programs\Charred Dirt todo.pl %Z%\packages\misc\cdirt_099c.exe todo.pl timeit %0 At 06:54 PM 5/23/2005, Chad Anderson wrote: Hi, I need some assistance.
