Lainz - sometimes I need the information knocking into my head from both sides!!
I'd used the folder name for both 1st and 2nd arguments
- your second reference to the Explorer Icon eventually got it into my thick skull.
However - now it
does create a shortcut with the Explorer Icon but doesn't take me to the folder - always to [My Documents]. As it happens the folder doesn't contain spaces but adding the double quotes creates the target :-
%WinDir%\explorer.exe "O:\FB\Music/" (taken from the 'Properties')
That is the correct folder (for my tests) but is ignored by the shortcut - with or without the double quotes.
Using an existing 'Folder' shortcut, copying and then changing the target to
O:\FB\Music works - as you would expect - so there must be some other parameter that a 'Folder' shortcut has.
The folder shortcut I modified didn't have anything in 'Start in' but taking out the %WinDir% had no effect.
I've tried your latest modified code (received whist I was typing) but that returns me to the 'Document' icon and a request to select a program to open it with.
