#26598 - 2002-08-06 10:06 PM AddProgramGroup Command problem
BitCrusher BitCrusher Lurker Registered: 2002-08-06 Posts: 2	I am having a problem with the AddProgramGroup command on a Windows 2000 Pro machine. Whenever I add a program group, KIX32 and WKIX32 does not seem to release the group. If I try to delete it, I am getting a sharing violation. However, if I do this on Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, I am not having the problem. In order to release the group, I have to either kill explorer and bring it back up, or re-boot. Can anyone tell me why? I am running KIX32 v4.10. Thanks... BitCrusher

BitCrusher BitCrusher Lurker Registered: 2002-08-06 Posts: 2	I am an administrator on the machines, so I don't think that's the problem. I'm even building it as personal, not common. Anyway, here is the code. Please let me know if you see anything. Thanks... ------------------------------------ $Pgmexec=CHR(34) + "C:\Program Files\Distinct\vt.exe" + CHR(34) + " -A-P MTS_LA_MP" If AddProgramGroup("MTS Execution",0) = 0 If AddProgramItem($Pgmexec,"MTS-Prod","",0,"C:\Program Files\Distinct",0,0) = 0 Copy "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Mts Execution\MTS-Prod.lnk" "%UserProfile%\Desktop" If DelProgramItem("MTS-Prod") = 0 If DelProgramGroup("MTS Execution",0) = 0 ?"MTS Icons completed..." Endif Endif EndIf EndIf EXIT 0 ---------------------------- BitCrusher

kholm kholm Korg Regular Registered: 2000-06-19 Posts: 714 Loc: Randers, Denmark	It seems to me that all you are interested in is creating a shortcut. Instead of creating (and deleting) a programgroup, i suggest you have a look here: MakeScut This is a free tool from ScriptLogic.com to create shortcuts Also you might searc for 'shortcut' on the KiXtart BBS -Erik [ 07.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Additional info: You can just create a folder in the appropriate directory and copy a shortcut into that folder. This would be the same procedure as using ADDPROGRAMGOUP, ADDPROGRAMITEM. However, you will need to retrieve the actual user profile location from the registry, you're looking for 'Shell Folders'. There are a couple of examples for this already posted on this BBS, see Desktop ENV variable? (how can I copy a file to all desktops f.e. by registry value) Adding/Updating Custom Start Menus Folders and more when searching the BBs for 'Shell Folders'. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
