It's probably a really simple way that I don't know but I need help with making icons on the desktop with my icon and pointing to my program. Please Help.

If your using XP right click on your program and select Send to... Desktop It'll have the blitz icon though. right?

CASO (Posted 2006) [#3]

I want a code or something to create an icon automatically.

you need to use windows API calls. Do a google on the blitz site, it's been discussed before.

Why not create them automatically during the installation process using Innosetup?

CASO (Posted 2006) [#6]

How can I get Innosetup. Is it free?

Hiya cal, I've just spotted this over on Coders Workshop... This lets you create a desktop shortcut in your application:- http://b1be.3x.ro/blitz.html The one you need (If Inno is no good to you) to download is the 'CustomLib1.zip' file Dabz P.S. Hiya GeoffTheGyratingGiraffe (or Ian for short)... lol, I couldnt resist when I saw your changed nick! :D

Thanks Dabz. Sorry I couldn't thank you sooner but I've been busy. I tried it and it works like magic. I think everyone should know about that little userlib.
