Post your errors, maybe we can help. :icon_wink:

Post your errors, maybe we can help. :icon_wink:
Error E2108 : Improper use of typedef 'HRESULT' in function main()
Error E2379 : Statement missing ; in function main()
Error E2141 : Declaration syntax error in function main()
Error E2139 : Declaration missing ; in function main()
Error E2190 : Unexpected }
I do know some of the errors, but when i correct them, i judt get even more errors...

They seem like pretty straightforward errors, if you post the exact code you're using I can hopefully highlight your mistakes.

You mean like all of the program, or just the shortcut code?
William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso
Depends on how big the program is. Post enough code to recreate the exact same errors you're getting if possible.

But this is pretty much it...

I think the main problem is you haven't really learned the basics of C++, such as scopes, functions, and layout. Before trying something on this level, maybe read a few more tutorials. More specifically.. the structure of a program, Scopes and Functions.
The main problem in the code you provided is that you have a function inside your main function. The CreateShortcut function should be totally seperate from the rest of the code.

Okay, I will certainly read what you have linked there, already did a little, and already seems to lighten up, but i still can't figure out.
I get a lot of errors, but now it is some new ones:
Error E2108 lol2.cpp 6: Improper use of typedef 'LPCTSTR'
Error E2293 lol2.cpp 6: ) expected
Error E2238 lol2.cpp 8: Multiple declaration for 'LPCTSTR'
Error E2344 c:\Borland\Bcc55\include\winnt.h 272: Earlier declaration of 'LPCTSTR'
Error E2141 lol2.cpp 8: Declaration syntax error
I dont know if you could make a 'quick' runthrough about what i need to do?
William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso
Well these errors don't seem as bad, but I'm not much help until I see the improved code again, those just look like small syntax errors, but I can't tell for sure.

Okay, i'm posting the exact code, as it looks right now here. And if you want, i have attached the cpp file.

Yes, all is included, but now i see that they are not in the file i attached.
