EditShortCut() - read and change the target of a shortcut or delete it Edited by Co (2005-08-15 09:15 PM) _________________________ Co

hywaydave hywaydave Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-07-20 Posts: 26	OK, I'm not totally understanding this WshShortcut thing. I have a desktop shortcut already on my user's workstations that has the "target" path pointing to t:\program and the "startin" path pointing to t:\location. What I want to do is change the t: to z: in both locations. Can someone help me out? Thanks.

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	WSHShortcut is for creating new shortcuts. Just deleting the current shortcut and creating a new one with WSHShortcut would be the safest way. Like Co said EditShortCut() - read and change the target of a shortcut or delete it this can do what you want. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.
