Shortcuts Folder

[NewsArchive]

Due to the entries in my "Shortcuts", SB has automatically added a
"::Create Program Folder" entry in my script logic. I'm changing this
to use regular scripting commands, and I can't find a corresponding
entry in the script functions.

You do have a "Create Shortcut" function, but I'm not sure if it will
automatically create the required directory. (Sorry, I haven't
bothered to test it yet to find out for myself. <g>)

The equivalent to "::Create Program Folder" is the "Create Folder..." script
function.

The equivalent to the "::Create Shortcut" Visualizer item is the "Create
Shortcut..." script function.

Does this help?

I suspected as much, but thought there might be one that was more
specific (automatically use the proper "Program" parent folder).

Yeah, that was pretty obvious. <g>

Considering the world isn't perfect, I guess so. <g>

Just use one of the built-in %_CSIDL_XXX% variables and you are done. For
example, %_CSIDL_COMMON_PROGRAMS%\MyShortcutFolder
