  1. Shortcut file referent does not include file extension


    What options or file extension settings and registry entries might result in shortcut files being produced without the file extension included in the shortcut reference?


    Is a direct edit of the shortcut manually to add the proper extension the only way to fix these occurrences?

    :)

  2. Creating Shortcuts with Batch File

    Threw a program together quick for you. It is attached with source in the other. Use it in place of your VBScript.

    It supports:
    CreateShortcut [save shortcut] [path to run]
    CreateShortcut [save shortcut] [path to run] [icon index]
    CreateShortcut [save shortcut] [path to run] [icon file]
    CreateShortcut [save shortcut] [path to run] [icon file] [icon index]

    If "icon index" is missing, it assumes 0. If "icon file" is missing it assumes "path to run." It doesn't presently support arguments to be added to the shortcut nor modifying the working directory (always assumes same directory as "path to run").

    Requires .NET Framework 4.0 to run. Will run natively on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.

  3. .ASX, and .ASF file extensions help.

    Hi, I am making a website, and I wanted to be able to stream some audio from the website. So I started googling an easier way, and I found some info on .ASX, and .ASF file extensions. (This is good because I don't have to move all my music onto the website, just make shortcuts to them. *Big Grin Shortcut file referent does not include file extension :D) I was just wondering if anybody knew a way to use a type of file like this where I can just put a playlist or something instead of making an .ASX file for every audio file. (Btw, over 7000 audio files. :S)

    Creating Shortcuts with Batch File

    No error, when I run the BAT file the CMD prompt shows and looks like it did stuff. But no shortcut on my Desktop.
