Trouble Adding a Custom Folder to All Users Desktop

I created a desktop application in VB.NET and in the Setup and Deployment
project, under File System on Target Machine, I added a custom folder which
is to be added to the Desktop of All Users. To specify this, I entered

DefaultLocation = C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop
AlwaysCreate = True

For some reason, though, it is not getting created. During installation, we
select Everyone, and so the Desktop shortcut goes to the All Users desktop,
but it doesn't seem to allow a custom folder to go there.

Is there a way to add a custom folder to the All Users Desktop? Thanks.

Hello all, I am writing a script where I need to use the system() function to call htpasswd. I can do this just fine on the command line...works great (see attached file, test.php). When my webserver runs that part of the script (see attached file, snippet.php), though, it doesn't go through. I don't get an error message or anything...it just returns a "1" (whereas it should return a "0") as far as I can tell. I have read the PHP...

I've figured out how to use the <customErrors/> element in my web config file to to redirect 404 errors to a custom error handler. But, it displays an 'ugly' URL in the client's browser. For example, if someone browses to: www.mydomain.com/Users/BobJones/ then my app should display a page with info about Bob Jones. www.mydomain.com/Users/ is a real folder on my website that only contains a single file (default.aspx). I've configured...

I found a good tutorial for making a windows setup program so I'm doing that. But when I add folders to the target machine list they don't seem to have one for the all users startup folder. I assume this will be a custom location and I added one called Startup. Now I'm looking at the properties menu for it but I'm not sure how to set the properties to specify the all users startup folder--if it exists, user startup if not.

A friend of mine has little kid. Big enough to use the computer. He created a kid user with restricted user account for his kid but he would like to remove the confusing start menu, etc.... with a simple, home made, kiosk style, fullscreen GUI interface. Which could just launch a bunch of game and logout/shutdown. And he ask how to do that. But I don't know!

Hi, can someone please provide me with some information on how I can create a shortcut from the users start menu/ desktop to my installed application when I am using the VS2005 setup wizard.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
