Hello,

I am trying to create a shortcut from the Desktop to a virtual location in
 "Computer" or "My Computer" .

This is easily done in Windows by dragging the virtual folder (MyFolder)
from the Tree View in Explorer up to Favorites in Windows 7, but I cannot
replicate this using WiX.

Target Type : Computer\MyFolder
Target Location : Computer
Target : Computer\MyFolder

I have tried pointing the shortcut to things like FOLDERID_ComputerFolder,
or CSIDL_DRIVES, but neither work.

This, for example, works :

<Shortcut Id="Shortcut" Name="Test" Directory="DesktopFolder" Target="
[ProgramFilesFolder]" />

Whereas this, does not:

<Shortcut Id="Shortcut" Name="Test" Directory="DesktopFolder" Target="
[FOLDERID_ComputerFolder]" />


Is there a way to create a shortcut to a virtual location using WiX ?  My
apologies up front if there is an obvious solution, I'm very new to WiX.

Thanks in advance,

Jim.
