View 2 RepliesIs there a way to know/dictate where an icon is to be placed on the Desktop.For example, if I was to be in My Documents and I see a file of which I desire to have a Shortcut of Send(ed) to the Desktop (by using the right-click command "Send to Desktop"),how can I "peek" the Windows processing and determine, then intercept, the location it's determined to place this icon at.I desire to be able to dictate more than the location, but believe that upon acquiring this information I can obtain everything else I need.
View 1 RepliesI want to have a link in an email with an ID number. Then, when the user clicks on the link in the email, it either launches my program, or brings the program to top, depending on whether it is opened or not, and then loads the record for that ID number from the link (the software is a record lookup tool).If I can figure out how to "send" the program the ID, I can figure the rest out.

View 1 RepliesI found some VB6 code over here to get and set icons on the desktop.After converting it to VB.NET and making some minor modifications it should simply save the icon's locations at startup into an array of POINT structures, set all icons to random locations when a button is pressed and put the icons back when the applications exits. When I start the app all icons dissapear and nothing happens when the button is pressed or when I exit (I can get the icons back by aligning them by grid).The VB6 to VB.NET converter gives me a warning when i try to marshal the POINT structure saying that i need special conversion for marshaling non bittable types.
Here's the code:

On this page there is a hyper link called 'Click Here' .. when I click it, it opens another window with things in it.
How can I click this hyper link in vb.net automatically without me clicking on it with the mouse, and how do I open the window in a second web browser ?
We can assume that the first browser is called (WebBroswer1 ) and the second one is called (WebBrower2).
