Thanks for the link Hilmar, but I've been fighting a losing battle about using WSH. Our managers don't want to rely on it being installed or having to install it with our app. I have to use another means or api for VFP if possible.
>>>I need to create a shortcut on the desktop (in FPD26 we used to do it by creating a .pif file using fcreate and storing it in c:\windows for win95/98 users) for all users of Win95, Win98, W2k, and WXP. This will need to run in both FPD26 and VFP7/8. However, I would settle for VFP7/8 for right now. Since the desktop folder is stored in a different location on the harddrive depending on the OS version, has anyone already figured out an easy way to do this?

>>For creating shortcuts, I used, with great success, the download provided by George Tasker. However, this is for Visual FoxPro, and will probably not work with FoxPro.

>>The download also provides functions that return special folders, like the desktop, for instance.
