• IWshShortcut Target Resolution in Windows 7

  - by Dan Walker

  I've got some code to read shortcuts using the Windows Script Host, but it appears to have a problem in Windows 7. When reading shortcuts, if there is an environment variable in the target path, it resolves to the wrong drive. For example, the shortcut to Notepad resolves to D:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe instead of C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe. The problem is not with my computer's settings, because the shortcut works just fine, and when looking at the value for %SystemRoot%, it shows C:\Windows. Any ideas as to what could be the problem, or alternatively, what a different method of reading shortcuts would be? Thanks, Dan

• Create shortcut from vb.net on Windows 7 box (64 bit)

  - by Matt

  I am trying to create a desktop shortcut from vb.net code on a Windows 7 box (64 bit). The following code works on XP, but when run on Win7 I just get a message stating the App has stopped working: Imports IWshRuntimeLibrary Dim WshShell As WshShellClass = New WshShellClass Dim MyShortcut As IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut ' The shortcut will be created on the desktop 'Win 7 MyShortcut = CType(WshShell.CreateShortcut("C:\Users\Public\Desktop\iexplore.lnk"), IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut) 'MyShortcut = CType(WshShell.CreateShortcut("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\iexplore.lnk"), IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut) MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" 'Specify target app full path MyShortcut.Description = "IE" MyShortcut.Save() Any thoughts or better ways to create a shorcut from code on a Win7 box?
