This doesn't answer your question but gives you another method. I create shortcuts using a text file with a .url extension. This is an INI style file that looks similar to the following and creates an internet shortcut but using a file. This provides me a method to edit the file with ViM if I need to. <file name="foo.url"> [InternetShortcut] URL=file:///c:/cygwin/bin/bar.exe IconIndex=0 IconFile=file:///c:/cygwin/Cygwin.ico HotKey=0 IDList= </file> -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
