I should imagine it would be:

Code: [Select]

(_CreateShortcut "c:\\test.lnk" "d:")
/guess

Welcome to theSwamp Ahankhah  

Lee,
nice to see you here.
You are right as always.
Thank you very much.

Welcome X2 

Thank you very much.

And to change the image of the link you'd need to add:
(vlax-put-property sc 'IconLocation "C:\\Windows\\System32\\shell32.dll, 9")
Where the number in red is the icon index in the dll.

ronjonp,
I appreciate your help.

Is it possible to pass a folder address to (_CreateShortcut) function as the second argument?

A quick test suggests yes, a folder as the target argument is fine.

Yes, One must pass folder name to he function without trailing slash:

Code: [Select]

right: (_CreateShortcut (strcat (getenv "userprofile") "\\Desktop\\Shortcut to Z.lnk")
                 "Z:")
false: (_CreateShortcut (strcat (getenv "userprofile") "\\Desktop\\Shortcut to Z.lnk")
                 "Z:\\")

Hi!

One simple (I hope) question:

Using these methods would I be able to get which Autocad's shorcutmenu has been used for last time? I mean EDIT, etc...

Many months ago I asked for a way to get it in order to know which menu item has been clicked in a GRREAD loop. I'm still looking for it  .

Thanks in advance.

I can hear the wind creeping through the frozen moors... It makes me shiver...
