Darren_W Darren_W Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2001-10-10 Posts: 208 Loc: Bristol, England	Hi, Having a problems with this function not passing the full path for the icon. EG. when the shortcut is created it show's no icon, and when you try to point it to the correct path it says: Windows cannot find the file C:\Program. Any advice would be nice.

Darren_W Darren_W Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2001-10-10 Posts: 208 Loc: Bristol, England	Thanks for that idea, I had tried changing it that way on the program call, somthing like (which is wrong): code: SoftLink("%userprofile%\desktop\Maths Programs.lnk","C:\Program Files\ICT in Maths\ICTMaths.exe",,,"'C:\Program Files\ICT in Maths\Icon.ico',1") What I have done thought is to pass the path in dos format: code: SoftLink($desktop+"\ICT in Maths.lnk","C:\Progra~1\ICTINM~1\ICTMaths.exe",,,"C:\Progra~1\ICTINM~1\Icon.ico,1") Saves an extra line of code Bye Darren _________________________ I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life.

I will update it a little as it's pretty crappy style. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
