Thanks for that!

How? I'm using XP's standard command prompt (not PowerShell.)

I will be dealing shortly with a simple CLI installer and need to create a shortcut on the user's desktop. Trouble is the desktop is only called "Desktop" in the english version and has other language-specific names in non-english versions (ie. Portuguese: "Ambiente de Trabalho".) So, what I would like to know is if there is a way of retrieving the path to the user's desktop using only XP's shell? %USERPROFILE%\<desktop_string> Many thanks.

You're absolutely right. Went with 7z and even managed to further reduce the final packaged file! Thanks mucho!

Hello, Can unrar.exe (part of WinRAR) be used to extract files on a system that may not have WinRAR installed (and registered)? I am aware this has been asked before, at least one time in this forum, however the replies the OPs got did not convince me. Since I have to create a compressed install package and send it out still today without testing it properly, I'd like to know if someone out there knows for sure if unrar.exe can be safely used as a standalone extraction utility.
