coucou Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Hi,I've noticed that no shortcuts created in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs" for the apps installed by archive SFX extract (Programs that don't need to be installed).Is there any how to set those shortcuts?TNXcoucou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nologic Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Well you can use AutoIt to create shortcuts....tho I think there is some apps out there that make it even easier....I know its been discussed a few times in the unattended OS part of the forum. So perform a few searchs in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I like using NirCmd, just add the nircmd.exe to the $OEM$\$$\system32 folder and create shortcuts via a cmd file.http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I've said many times the simplest way to have shortcuts imported to a new install, is to have your shortcuts in the same way you want themn to appear - and place them on your uA CD:$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Similarly for desktop, and QuickLaunch, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHANDER Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 But how do you get them to appear in the order you want as oppsed to alphabetical without having to rename them with 01, 02 ,03..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
