#75288 - 2003-06-04 04:06 PM Creating shortcut with WshShortCut()
Raceeend Raceeend Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-05-09 Posts: 129 Loc: The Netherlands	Hello, I'm trying to create a shortcut with WshShortCut() but from the targetpath some characters get mixed up. code: $Path = "%userprofile%\desktop\Baan V.lnk" $TargetPath = "\\SR0004\Worktop\bin\Worktop_client.exe \\SR0004\Worktop\documents\$BaanUsername.wtd" ;? "TargetPath = " + $TargetPath $StartDir = "\\SR0004\Worktop\bin" $IconPath = "\\SR0004\worktop\bin\worktop.exe" $x = WshShortCut($Path,$TargetPath,,$StartDir, $IconPath) the result is: TargetPath must be --> \\SR0004\Worktop\bin\Worktop_client.exe \\SR0004\Worktop\documents\giex001.wtd Targetpath gets --> \\Sr0004\Worktop\bin\Worktop_client.exe \SR0004\Worktop\documents\giex001.wtd Anyone an idea? _________________________ regards, Martijn

Arguments appended to TARGETPATH that is the way these work. the actual path is the thing you are pointing to. this is normal behaviour. so your call should be: code: $x = WshShortCut("%userprofile%\desktop\Baan V.lnk","\\SR0004\Worktop\bin\Worktop_client.exe","\\SR0004\Worktop\documents\$BaanUsername.wtd", "\\SR0004\Worktop\bin", "\\SR0004\worktop\bin\worktop.exe") _________________________ ! download KiXnet
