|    How to create a relative shortcut ?    |

      XPost: comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32, alt.windows7.general       From: address@is.invalid              Hello all,              I'm trying to create relative shortcuts* (for use on a removable USB       harddisk) and can't seem to find out how it works.              * the target of the link is relative to the location of the link itself.              I'm programming against the IShellLink interface (       https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shobjidl_cor       /nn-shobjidl_core-ishelllinka) ,       which suggests a relative path is possible (SetRelativePath), but I'm not       able to get it to work or find code explaining how to do it.              I did find this :       https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20171019-00/?p=97247 , but I'm       not even sure if that is what I'm after ... :-|              Question: does someone have an example to what I'm supposed to do to make it       happen ?              Regards,       Rudy Wieser              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
