Hi,

I am trying to figure out a way of getting the create shortcut command to
use the default icon associated with the extension of the file in the
shortcut rather than using none.

Aside from shipping a dll with the icons I need, is there any other way I
can change the icon for the shortcut to get it to use the default on the
target machine?

Paul

Installer package that was created by using Visual Studio .NET

Have you had any luck with this solution? I tried it and it gives an error that the key is invalid. Any ideas?
