Hello All,

Can anyone tell me, where are the desktop shortcuts or any folders on desktop are stored in registry, under which value.

Also, if someone can guide towards a nice registry tutorial/documentation.

thanks and regards

Mutahir

Dekstop shortcuts are not stored in the registry...

they are stored in various locations...

C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

I believe he's reffering to the permanent shortcuts like My Documents, My network Places, My Computer, Trash Bin, etc....

thanks for your reply, but as justice said...

i am referring to the registry entries for different permanent shortcuts on the desktop...

thanks and regards to all of u
