Problem with the SHCreateShortcut function

Hello all,

I've got a problem withe the SHCreateShortcut function.
I use it like this :

SHCreateShortcut( _T("\\Windows\\Menu Démarrer\\Programmes\\myprog.lnk")
,_T("\\Program Files\\myprog.exe"));

Menu Démarrer is because the device is french ;-) (equals to Start Menu)
My shortcut is created, but in the details of the shortcut, it is written :
"\Program" File\myprog.exe
There is a " after the Program string.
Does anybody have an idea ?
Thanks a lot,

Matt.

Try putting quotes around your target path (since it contains spaces) e.g.
SHCreateShortcut( _T("\\Windows\\Menu Démarrer\\Programmes\\myprog.lnk")
,_T("\"\\Program Files\\myprog.exe\""));
