Shortcuts how to edit "from" property

alo275 · 1st March 2007, 14:30

Hi all,
I'm able to create shortcut to my application in Start menu, but I don't know how to configure the field "FROM" of the .lnk file. I need it because I need to start my application from a directory specified by user during installation.

By now this field contains the path of the .lnk file
(i.e.: )
"C:\Documents and Settings\Al\Start\Programs\MyApp"

Can anyone help me?

SetOutPath controls the start in directory of the shortcut
