Hi

I am using vb6 and win XP I need a simple way to get the complete path of a desktop Icon to my program either by dragging or copy and pasting the icon to my program the path will then be transfered to one of the command buttons

I don't want people to have to open the proprties window of different icons and copyand paste the location
Thank-You
Any help will be greatly appreciated

don't use shortcut paths. link directly to the application exacutable then stick that link in the shortcut path.
