Emerson,

I can't replicate the problem under Win2K. I did notice that SetLinkWorkDir() returns 1 on success. Here's the code I used to test:

lcfile = GETFILE('EXE')
lcicon = GETFILE('ico')
DECLARE INTEGER FindDesktopFolder IN LNKFILES.DLL;
  INTEGER hOwner, STRING @lpbuffer
lcbuffer = SPACE(260)
? FindDesktopFolder(0, @lcbuffer) && Returns 41
lcdesktop = LEFT(lcbuffer, 41)
lcshortcut = ADDBS(lcdesktop) + "Test.lnk"
DECLARE INTEGER CreateShellLink IN LNKFILES.DLL;
  STRING @lpzLinkFileName, STRING @lpzExeFileName
? CreateShellLink(@lcshortcut, @lcfile) && Returns 0
DECLARE INTEGER SetLinkWorkDir IN LNKFILES.DLL;
  INTEGER hWnd, STRING @lpszLinkName, STRING @lpszPath
? SetLinkWorkDir(0, @lcshortcut, JUSTPATH(lcfile)) && Returns 1 but the directory is set appropriately
DECLARE INTEGER SetLinkIconFile IN LNKFILES.DLL;
  INTEGER hWnd, STRING @lpszLinkName,;
  STRING @lpszPath, INTEGER iIconIndex
? SetLinkIconFile(0, @lcshortcut, @lcicon, 0) Returns 0

I really don't have any plans for updating or modifying the file as I now use the Windows Script Host to create and modify short cuts.
