find which shortcut has been launch.

[satanico64]

hi guys, how are you ??  fine? good...

Here is a little question: is it possible to know whish shortcut has been used to launch my autoit app ?

i'm quite sure that there's nothing to do with autoit, but mostly windows ...

 

My context: i have an app accessed from the network by my user.

In my app i use FileCreateShortcut to point to \\myfileserver\myapp.exe

Soon, in october, they are going to change my fileserver, so my app will be on \myNEWfileserver\myapp.exe

So in my code, i just rewrite my shortcut on the desktop's user. Everything works fine.

BUT..some users have several shortcut for my app (they just manually create another shortcut which i don't know the name).

So maybe they don't use my shortcut but their own ...

=> i know I could list all file on desktop, and for all the .lnk i check if destination is myapp.exe and modify the path but do you see another way ?

 

thanks

have fun !

I'd update one shortcut, and let the user's delete the rest as they are the ones that made them. It's not your responsibility to make the users less dumb.
