SteveGoddard SteveGoddard Lurker Registered: 2005-02-17 Posts: 1	Hi all, I need to create an icon on a users desktop when they logon. The icon is simply a website shortcut or .url file to the users webmail. The problem is that the icon needs to include the username. Like this: http://mailserver.com/exchange/username Is there any way of creating this icon for each of my 700 users using kixtart? Thanks, Steve

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	We use the wshshortcut UDF for this. WSHSHORTCUT() is here: http://www.kixtart.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=83318&an=0&page=2#83318 Code: Call @SCRIPTDIR + "\wshshortcut.kix" $rc=wshShortcut("WebMail","http://mailserver.com/exchange/@USERID") I know macro's in strings are evil but couldn't get it to work if placed outside the string. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.
