WshShell.CreateShortcut

[ade]

Does anyone know why this vbs code halts at the
oShellLink.FullName parameter??

I thought the FullName parameter could be used to specifiy where the created shortcut is saved to (by the oShellLink.Save parameter)??

**********************
Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

Set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut("Pegasus Mail.lnk")
oShellLink.TargetPath = "P:Pegasuswinpm-32.exe"
oShellLink.FullName = "C:WindowsDesktop"
oShellLink.Save
**************************

Thanks in advance,

Ade

I would have expected FullName to want the file name as well such as
"C:WindowsDesktopPegasus Mail.lnk"

Thanks for responding. Unfortuantly, your suggestion produces the same error...

"Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment: 'oShellLink.FullName'".

Any further ideas out there?

Thanks again,

Ade

Solved it via Microsoft Supprt search...

Ignore the 'FullName' parameter, and specify the target location for the shortcut when setting the 'WshShell.CreateShortcut' object. E.g.

*******
Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut("C:WindowsDesktopPegasus Mail.lnk")

oShellLink.TargetPath = "P:Pegasuswinpm-32.exe"
oShellLink.Save

Set oShellLink = Nothing
*******
