No (you can, of course, create the file yourself, but you don't need boost for that). http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776891%28VS.85%29.aspx | |

Athar's link points at code which shows you how to create a Shell link file (.lnk) If you want to create an Internet shortcut, a .url file which points at a web site/page, the approach is similar. But you need to use CLSID_InternetShortcut with IObjectWithSite::SetSite rather than CLSID_ShellLink with IShellLink::set_Path (and set_Description). In both cases you write the link to disk via IPersistFile::Save. Andy Internet Shortcuts http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776784%28v=vs.85%29.aspx | |
