What's the diff between Common and simply desktop? Let's say
there's folder Documentss and Setting.
All Users
User1
User2
I assume Common is All users and CreateShortCutOnDesktop is
specific for User1 or User2? When I'm installing things I like to
limit guessing and thinking. On the web page it states "Self
explanatory I hope. smile".
Yes and no. I guess if it stated something like "Common under
All
Users, Desktop to specific user" there is no ambivelence or
requirement to guess or think.

Tony is using pretty standard terminology there, seems to me.

Yeah, but any questions anyone has I should be be making clearer so I do appreciate
Salad's comments.

In any event, doesn't it break to put a shortcut on the All Users
desktop in Vista and later?

Yes, and I have a message accordingly if the OS is Windows Vista or newer.

Didn't you create the damned thing for your own use and only later
make it available to others? Your apps need it, so you're an
end-user of your own utility, so have the right perspective. You
just don't necessarily have the same perspective as users would
have, since you know *how* it works, not just what it does.

I think you're worrying overmuch. I've always thought your
documentation was perfectly fine. It's certainly far superior to the
vast majority of software documentation originating from the Linux
side of the pond.

Yes. Although my client did pay me $500 for the first version that took me two
weeks to create in VB6.

Ah, thanks. Never read Linux docs and have no plans for the immediate, near or
long term to start. smile

Well, you get dumped into "Linux documentation" any time you use an
Open Source software package, since that's where the vast majority
of them originate. Try the docs for Apache Server, for instance. It
might remind you of the old days of DOS software. And it's one of
the better ones, in fact.
