In VB.NET I used wscript.shell to add a shortcut to the desktop. I didn't realize it created the shortcut on the "All Users" desktop, which means I can't delete it. I don't have admin rights as this is my work computer, and asking for admin isn't an option. WScript.Shell has a createshortcut method but not a remove shortcut method! I've been googling for days with no luck. Windows XP Pro 2002, SP3.

I'm using "File = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()" to open a file when dragged onto my application's icon. When I drag a document's shortcut icon onto the app icon, it tries to open the actual .lnk file instead of the file that it points to.
I created a webrowser in VB.net to track employee usage and it seems to be working fine but I wanted to find out what it would take to set this as a default browser on a PC.I also would need to know how to pull the URL from shortcuts so when the program opens I can have it open to the URL in the shortcut.

We have developed a tool using VB.net and in one screen, we have placed a button - 'Contact Us'.
The business intent of this button is to - send query regarding technical help to our team. Once the user clicks on the Contact Us button, microsoft outlook new mail page should open where the mail ids of our team should be populated by default, the user jus has to type the subject and the body and send across to us.
I've a scenario in which user can make a selection from a grid (having uploaded files on local folder) and when user press "send", application should open Outlook "New mail message" window having selected files as attachments (which user selected from grid).
i want to open the outlook from my vb.net application. I want to fill out the To,Subject, Body and Attachment part of mail through my application. here i don't need to send mail . I want to just open the outlook with mail parameter.
Automagically enter the distribution name in the To field and PersonA, PersonB in the CC field, the Subject and the Body all prefilled and, hopefully the user's signiture so that all the user has to do is click on send?
is there a way in vb.net to open microsoft outlook without knowing the file path exactly? different versions of outlook use different file locations, then you have to worry about the program files and program files(x86). is there a way to just launch outlook using the system.diagnostics.process.start("..") without the file path?
i dont want to have to test folders:
If Folder_Exists("C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12") Then If Folder_Exists("C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11") Then
First good Monday to all and thanks for the suggestions on path I got it working somewhat.Problem: When a user clicks the comment button I would like outlook client to open so they can submit their comments. We run outlook client 2010 and exchange 2010 server. The Network Administrator is somewhat helpful but I am responsible for coding. Code specifics needed, did some research but not a lot of examples. I originally designed a cute little form with pages that folks could view to answer questions about how to use office software, the boss saw it and now they want more.
I have made a little programme where the user can put in a name to search for a contact.The matches then fill a Datagrid and the user can then choose the one they want and the programm then opens the contact form (from outlook client)The Contact form opens ok, and it brings up the correct contact. If the user then selects the option to "Email" from that from I then get the error message"A Dialog is open" etc...
My code is as follows
Sub GetContact() Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
[code]....
It seems to be due to Outlook being open or opening?
My app has some labels with email adresses, what i want to do is some kind of linklabel but instad of oppening an internet adress, i want it to open, for example, outlook, with the adress in the destination field (many programs does so), also, it would be fine if i can personalize a default email subject and text, but if i can open the program and put the adress i am already happy enough
Im trying to prepare outlook message (with prefilled subject, attachment etc.) and open it for the user in outlook.
Outlook is 2007, Win 7.0.
Problem is, that I cannot instantiate Outlook.Application. Everytime it fall with ActiveX error (cannot create instance) or CLS ID identifier is invalid.
I tried (as reference have outlook 12 and office 12 object library)
Dim objOutlook As New Outlook.Application - CLS ID error objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") - ActiveX error objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application", "localhost") - ActiveX error
I found a lot of threads in net, but nothing works for me (always same error on PCs of other developers too).
I have a form-based application that is still in the testing phase. As a convenience while the project is in test phase, I would like to be able to open its VB project by clicking a button on the form, instead of navigating to the directory and open the project by double-clicking its icon. (I'm lazy ) I've added a button to the form. What code should I use to open the project?
I couldn't find an appropriate forum which would suit the type of problem I am facing so I am putting it here.I needed to create an intranet web application that has pages with hyperlinks to eml files. The eml files as is known are email files in MIME format which outlook express can open. However what I found was if eml files are on your machine, it opens in outlook express but when opened as an hyperlink, it opens in Internet Explorer (IE) as an mhtml file. And any attachments that may be in the eml file are not displayed at all!I didn't understand why IE has to poke inbetween. After searching the net, I came across a solution that required changes in the Registry of the client machine.The change is to be made to the node HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTMIMEDatabaseContent Typemessage/rfc822.The following is a REG file that can be imported for this change.[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTMIMEDatabaseContent ypemessage/rfc822]"extension"=".eml""CLSID"=""However after this change, though eml files opened in Outlook express, MHT files stopped opening in IE.Then I simply deleted the rfc822 node and to my surprise, MHT files opened in IE and eml files opened in outlook express and everything was fine!!But I don't want to use this sledge hammer solution. I want to know what this registry key is for and how can I set it to achieve what I want . i.e. open eml files from web pages in outlook express without affecting other file types
is it possible that I create a program that allows you to open a file, then if you click the button labelled "Properties", it will open the properties window for the file selected. This is so that you won't have to go to the file, right-click it, then select Properties.
We have a vendor that sends CSV files as email attachments. These CSV files contain statuses that are imported into our application. I'm trying to automate the process end-to-end, but it currently depends on someone opening an email, saving the attachment to a server share, so the application can use the file.Since I cannot convince the vendor to change their process, such as offering an FTP location or a Web Service, I'm stuck with trying to automate the existing process.
programmatically open an email from a POP3 account and extract an attachment? The preferred solution would reside on a Windows 2003 server, be written VB.NET and secure. The application can reside on the same server as the POP3 server, for example, we could setup the free POP3 server that comes with Windows Server and pull against the mail file stored on the file system.
I am making a web application in ASP.NET 4.0. For some reason I need to open a web site always in full screen. It is a tedious task to open a web site in browser and then toggle to fullscreen.Is there any way to open the browser (preferably IE9 or Google Chrome) in full screen programmatically?Can I put some code in the Page_Load() method of my default page that toggles the browser to full screen?
I'm trying to extract the icon from a shortcut (lnk file), but I end up with the shortcut symbol in the lower-left hand corner of the image. How can I extract a shortcut's icon without this symbol?
Here's the code I'm using:
Dim ico As System.Drawing.Icon = System.Drawing.Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon("C:shortcut.lnk")
