Shell shortcut synatx problem

[dremuler]

if reso.exe is in the root of C:
Try this

Shell.CreateShortcut(Shell.GetFolder(SHF_DESKTOP), "Shortcut Name", "C:\\reso.exe" , [["Full game path" 800 600 32]], "", "", 0, SW_SHOWNORMAL, nil);

In fact this code with certain modifications, absoluteley work.
path was given with a file brwoser button.

Shell.CreateShortcut(Shell.GetFolder(SHF_DESKTOP), "SHORTCUT NAME", path.."\\reso.exe",'"'..path..[[\game.exe" 640 480 32 60]], path, path.."\\game.ico", 0, SW_SHOWNORMAL, nil, "co");

at this moment im testing whole project, but, your codes are very helpfully

[startup]

there was a closure error

resolution = " 720 480 32 60"
path="C:\\Location\\sublocation";
shkt={path .."\\app1.exe", path .."\\app2.exe" }
for a,z in pairs (shkt) do
Shell.CreateShortcut(Shell.GetFolder(SHF_DESKTOP), "NAME"..a, "C:\\reso.exe", '"'..z..'"'..resolution, "", "", 0, SW_SHOWNORMAL, nil);
end

[startup]

the loop for your example

resolution = " 720 480 32 60"
path="C:\\Location\\sublocation";
shkt={path .."\\app1.exe", path .."\\app2.exe" }
for a,z in pairs (shkt) do
Shell.CreateShortcut(Shell.GetFolder(SHF_DESKTOP), "NAME", "reso full path", '"'..z.."'"..resolution, "", "", 0, SW_SHOWNORMAL, nil);
end

not tested

Hi your code

"C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe" 1920 1080 32 60

should be as arg

"C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe 1920 1080 32 60"

Here try this example
CreateSC.apz
Also app should runas Admin

[startup]

if reso.exe is in the root of C:
Try this

Shell.CreateShortcut(Shell.GetFolder(SHF_DESKTOP), "Shortcut Name", "C:\\reso.exe" , [["Full game path" 800 600 32]], "", "", 0, SW_SHOWNORMAL, nil);

I did not understand exactly what you want to do, see if this can be useful

sorry wasnt useful is a simply shortcut.

look i had a program called RESO, that exe tool change the resolution when you open an app, this tool create a shortcut, the path of the shortcut looks like this:

"C:\reso.exe" "C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe" 1920 1080 32 60

That means, reso will change the resolution when you open notepad from the shortcut at 1920 x 1080 in 32 bits at 60Hz

So i want to use the
Shell.CreateShortcut Just to create the shortcut BUT, autoplay, doesnt let me.

you can find RESO-O-MATIC in google and try what im saying, and click to properties and check out the path to be easy to understand.

BTW as icant edit my posts ive try this:

path="C:\\Location\\sublocation";
shkt='"'.. path .."\\app1.exe".. '"' .. " ".. '"' .. path .."\\app2.exe".. '"' .. " 720 480 32 60";
Shell.CreateShortcut(Shell.GetFolder(SHF_DESKTOP), "NAME", shkt, "", path, "", 0, SW_SHOWNORMAL, nil, "", START_OPTION_DEFAULT);

ive try that and now i can close dialog, BUT the shorcut gets BLANK when its created and of course not work.
files are in the location, so.. when i click properties: the destiny its blank, BUT the working folder its filled, so whats happen?

[dremuler]

Well i want to create a shortcut but i have a syntax problem

Shell.CreateShortcut(Shell.GetFolder(SHF_DESKTOP), "NAME", "PATH\APP1.exe" "PATH\APP2.exe" 720 480 32 60, "", "", "", 0, SW_SHOWNORMAL, nil, "", START_OPTION_DEFAULT);

app 1 will process app 2 first.
in the dialog of windows this syntax NAME", "PATH\APP1.exe" "PATH\APP2.exe" 720 480 32 60 is correct BUT in autoplay media studio doesnt.
cant close dialog because an error

what can i do?

thanks in advance
