shortcut

Is it possible run .jar through Windows shortcut (.lnk) passing arguments? Harry Johnston In Java 7, yes. You can point the shortcut to c:\windows\system32\java.exe or javaw.exe as appropriate and include the same arguments you would use on the command line. In a clean Java 8 installation, not easily. Unfortunately Java 8 no longer puts copies java.exe and javaw.exe into the system folder, but instead puts symbolic links in a ProgramData folder. Windows doesn't like shortcuts to symbolic links; sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. (Even the same shortcut might work for some user accounts

Trying to make a keyboard shortcut to reset a game. Earlier in the __init__ class I create a menu to start a new game, and use self.reset to reset the score/grid etc. I now have been trying to implement the shortcut with the same command - the reset being a method within the class. self._master.bind_all('<Control-n>', self.reset) This is the error: TypeError: reset() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given My confusion is that the self.reset works fine earlier in the __init__ but then does not work for the shortcut? I do not see how the shortcut is even giving any positional arguments to

I am working on a VBScript that is to show the "Computer" icon on the desktop. I've been able to do one for IE using the following code, however as Computer is a "Special Folder" that does not seem to have an actual location I can't use the same method. Would anyone have any idea how to enable it via VBScript? IE Shortcut code: Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Create Shortcut for IE on desktop allUsersDesktop = objShell.SpecialFolders("AllUsersDesktop") usersDesktop = objShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop") Set objShortCut = objShell.CreateShortcut(usersDesktop & "\Internet

Okay, I asked another question here trying to make my activities look like dialogs. I'm thinking maybe instead of asking about a specific method, I should ask about what I'd like to do, and perhaps there is a different way to go about it... Here's what I have. My app allows shortcuts to be placed on the home screen. The code and logic for creating the shortcuts all works flawlessly, and the shortcuts then launch the proper activity which shows what it's supposed to... again, all works flawlessly. What I'm wondering though, is is there a way to have the home screen shortcut launch my activity

I have been looking for a simple way to create a shortcut to a file in C#, but I've only found external dlls that do that. It's actually quite surprising, there's no built in way to do that.. Anyway, I know that lnk files are just text files with a certain command and a given path. I thought that maybe I could create a text file (in the code) set it's text to the right command and change it's extension to .lnk I've tried to do that manually first, but failed to do so. Is there a way to do something like that (or maybe another simple way) to create a shortcut to a certain path in c#? Just to be

I wanted to declare a 2D array and assign values to it, without running a for loop. I thought I could used the following idea int array[5] = {1,2,3,4,5}; Which works fine to initialize the 2D array as well. But apparently my compiler doesn't like this. /* 1 8 12 20 25 5 9 13 24 26 */ #include <iostream.h> int main() { int arr[2][5] = {0}; // This actually initializes everything to 0. arr [1] [] = {1,8,12,20,25}; // Line 11 arr [2] [] = {5,9,13,24,26}; return 0; } J:\CPP\Grid>bcc32.exe Grid.cpp Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993, 2000 Borland Grid.cpp: Error E2188 Grid.cpp 11:
