SHORTCUT - DESKTOP ICON If you have produced an application running under .hta or .exe, a desktop shortcut icon to startup your application is useful and gives a nice finishing touch. Write a small Javascript file, or incorporate the following into your setup code: function createShortcut() {
if (ActiveXObject) {
WshShell = new ActiveXObject( "WScript.Shell" );
strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop");
oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop + "\\blahblah.lnk");
oShellLink.TargetPath = path; // eg "C:\\XXX\\Program\\blahblah.hta";
oShellLink.WindowStyle = 1;
oShellLink.Description = "BlahBlah";
oShellLink.WorkingDirectory = strDesktop;
oShellLink.IconLocation = image path; // eg "C:\\XXX\\Program\\images\\your_icon.bmp";
oShellLink.Save();
}
} Chose a 68 x 68 pix image for your icon. A useful site for image conversions to icons is: CoolUtils This code will result in a shortcut on your desktop, labelled "BlahBlah". Enjoy!  Top
