Creating Shortcut Without IWshRuntimeLibrary
May 27, 2010
I have a simple .net program that would only require .net framework to run.There are no third party dll or references. This program does some work and creates a shortcut.To my knowledge , it requires IWshRuntimeLibrary to create a shortcut. Because its com based ( windows scripting host object model ), adding a reference to it creates an interop file in my bin folder.So when the application runs , it looks for Interop.IWshRuntimeLibrary. dll in the current location.It works correctly if interop file is there. But the file will not be present in the user system.

I'm sure this has probably happened to most people but I've run out of UI space and need to create a hotkey or some similar situation to run a method or function.

How would I create a shortcut of my exe file when its run, I can work out the directories and stuff but how would I actually create the program that it starts when windows boots?
I have done quite a few google searches and have found nothing to interesting or useful but I did find out that there is two main ways of doing this registry or startup folder and im more pulled into the startup folder because I dont think that I yet know enough about controlling the registry to be confident of using code like that, so I fall to my other alternative using the startup folder to trigger my program, I read somewhere that this doessn not work for vista but im not sure of that. What I would like to as is how you actually create a shortcut as I cant really understand VB6 Code very well its all I could find.

If obSelect = True Then

I have an application that creates desktop shortcuts. To do this I have to reference the Windows Script Host Object Model. When I add it as a reference, it always creates the DLL, Interop.IWshRuntimeLibrary.dll, in the objx86Debug directory, then references itself to it, rather than looking at wshom.ocx. Even if I add reference wshom.ocx it reverts to saving the file in the objx86Debug directory. The problem is if I move my application to another computer without that DLL being present, the program fails to run.

Is it possible to create a custom start menu shortcut link?
The only possibilities I see in the setup project are shortcuts to folders or primary output.
Update:
What I ended up doing is creating a custom action on commit that dynamically creates the link using Windows Scripting Host. Then on uninstall, removing the link.

I'm creating a shortcut with my application, and its working successfully, except that the "Target" line is being cut off. Not all the arguments are listed. When I run the target application of this shortcut using process.start and these arguments, it runs fine. Is this simply a limitation of the "Target" textbox? Is it simply not displaying all the arguments, or is it functionally limited in this way?EDIT: I have determined that it is simply not displaying the full string, but seems to work correctly. I would still like to fix this somehow, but if not, not a big deal.There are 259 characters in the textbox, including spaces. Doesn't seem like a significant number to me.Here is the code, but it doesn't really matter, it is working fine:

Here's the code I'm using:

I have a context menu, and for one of the menu items, I would like to use F5 as the shortcut key. It seems, however, that I must use a modifier key to get it to work, but I don't want to use a modifier. I just want it to be F5.

I just have a question about creating a shortcut to my programs path. The problem I have is the program has to run from a Mapped drive.
Example of how the shortcut should look.
Target: R:appapp9app9Filesmyapp.exe @app.ini
Start in: R:appapp9app9Files
So here is the question if the mapped drive path is different every time depending on how the user maps the share how can I tell VB to find the path to myapp.exe ?

I have an vb.net application. For this application there are 4 users. so for this 4 users different user names will be there Also users will have the different shortcut icons(from the base exe they created 4 shortcut and renames themselves.) As soon as they click on ok button in login form i am storing the details in registry. if they restared the application, login form will show the last user name(which is stored in registry). Here the requirement is user1 should not get user2 username when he login. Here I have to store the login information of every users in registry separately and if user1 is clicking the shorcut of my application(i.e clicking on shortcut of MyApp.exe) then he should get his details. Here i can differentiate by using which shortcut icon is clicked. Based on that name i can say this user is trying to log and i have to show his user name in login form username textbox.[code]...

I have been trying to work on a utility that creates an Internet shortcut to the URL the user specifies and places the shortcut in the location the user specifies.
I found C++ code (which has syntac errors, apparently, so I can't convert it.), VB6 code (which also had a problem being converted), and VBS code (which is pretty much incompatible with everything).
