I have a few shortcuts on my desktop, nowhere near as nicey though, obviously.

But occasionally I accidentally catch the DC shortcut and the game starts up.

Any way to avoid this from happening as it usually leads to depressions a few minutes later. :cry:

ehhh, you could maybe hide all your shortcuts by right clicking the desktop and going to arrange icons? :?

Past this into a text file and rename to .vbs. Move the original BF shortcut to the root of a drive and change the sAppPath to the link to the shortcut, (does't work if there are spaces in the file path or name).

Image

Code:
Dim sAppPath
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
retval = WshShell.Popup ("Are you sure you want to run BF1942?",,"Hello", 4+32)
If retval=6 Then 
sAppPath = "E:\T-M-P.lnk"
Return = WshShell.Run(sAppPath, 1, false)
Wscript.quit
Else
End If
Wscript.quit


You can then create a shortcut to the script if you wish and change the icon to match the original shortcut.

casp, what bits would i change if i wanted to use that for other games?? every now and again i catch cod5 on my quicklaunch when i mean to click firefox... bloody annoying as it sometimes takes a while to load up before you can close it.

edit: is that in basic?? looks like what we used in highschool... i might even be able to figure it out myself lol.

Just change the question and app path to whatever you want it to link to. Bearing in mind the main problem I've had so far is it doesn't work if there are spaces in the file name or path. Maybe someone can sort that out. You only need to link to a shortcut if there are switches. The format is Vbscript. :grin:
