( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I have had a similar problem recently under Windows Vista Business. Could not get it to work for shortcuts to a folder. It all looked OK but did not actually go to the folder when opened, just popped up the dialog asking which application to use. In the end I stopped using Wind32::Shortcut altogether. I do this instead, with appropriate definitions for $linkname and $target:
use Win32::OLE; my $WShell = Win32::OLE->new('WScript.Shell'); my $sc = $WShell->CreateShortcut("$linkname.lnk"); if ( -d "$target") { # This looks weird but is the only way I could make it work. # A straight forward link to a folder sort of looks right but # doesn't actually work when you try to follow it. # This creates a bit of mix between a link and a url. # It is a .lnk file but it sets TargetPath to a URL like value. $sc->{'TargetPath'} = "file:///$target"; } else { $sc->{'TargetPath'} = "$target"; } $sc->Save();

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
