Hi All

Can I programatically set the icon file of a shortcut?

I am building a workstation installer. I have a dll that makes a desktop shortcut, but cannot figure out how to point the shortcut icon to a custom icon file (myicon.ico).

Since I can't depend on any particular version WSH to be on the workstation, I need to do this initially with Fox or with WIN32API (although at the end of the install I will RUN with the WSH 5.6 exe version for the client's OS platform. But as I noted, it won't initally be available).

The client can be any flavor of Win98, NT4, NT5 or XP. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Don Lowrey
