Rename an existing shortcut during update install

[NewsArchive]

Does anyone know a way to rename an existing shortcut?

I am installing an update. The initial full install has already placed a
program shortcut called "My Shortcut" on the program start menu. I would
like to rename this existing shortcut to "My New Shortcut".

Deleting the existing one and adding the new one would work just as well,
however, I have been all through the help file and functions and can't see
any way to do this.

Is it possible?

Thanks.

I think you'll have to delete the old one and add the new one.

Kind of figured as much but that could be a real pain if it has been moved.
I can get the original location from the LOG file but that doesn't mean it's
still there.

That would be a problem regardless. Wouldn't it?

Thanks

Outside of pressing F2, nope.

Oh well......

Never hurts to ask.

I haven't tried this but it seems to me you could use the "Get Special
Folder Path" function and assign it to a variable %SB_ThePath then use
the "Rename File/Folder Name" function to change it:
Old Name - %SB_ThePath\My Shortcut.lnk
New Name - %SB_ThePath\My New Shortcut.lnk

Geoff,

Somehow I missed that function. I will check into it.

Thanks for the heads up.
