Hi
The following works for me on a WinXP Pro box:
use Win32::Shortcut;
use strict;
use warnings;
my $link = Win32::Shortcut->new();
$link->{'Path'} = 'C:\Documents and Settings\jim\My Documents\google_m
+aps.txt';
$link->{'WorkingDirectory'} = 'C:\Documents and Settings\jim\My Docume
+nts';
$link->{'ShowCmd'} = SW_SHOWNORMAL;
$link->Save('C:/Documents and Settings/jim/Desktop/google_maps.lnk');
$link->Close();
I created two links on my desktop, one the "normal" way, one with the script. They are of different sizes:
C:\Documents and Settings\jim\Desktop>dir *.lnk
Volume in drive C is mecano
Volume Serial Number is 84B7-29B9
Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\jim\Desktop
07.26.05 12:35 PM 648 google_maps.lnk
07.26.05 12:24 PM 594 Shortcut to Google_maps.txt.lnk
but seem the same on visual inspection. Both open the text file correctly without an additional prompt.
