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.

ehhh, you could maybe hide all your shortcuts by right clicking the desktop and going to arrange icons?  ---------------- Now playing: Evanescence - Call Me When You're Sober via FoxyTunes |

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).  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. |

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.
