OK, make a shortcut for that file.

Batch FileName Editor 4.5.lnk (something like that)

EX.

CopyFiles =AddShortcut.Files

[SourceDisksFiles]
PowerISO.lnk =1

[AddShortcut.Files]
PowerISO.lnk

Remove the other shortcut section you made.

I find this way easier.

Ok LUZR4LIFE, I will give that try.... ;)

Change:

Name	  =Batch FileName Editor 4.5

To:

Name	  ="Batch FileName Editor 4.5",8,23

and change:

Name	  =Unistall

To:

Name	  ="Unistall",8,23

This should do the trick.

Ive tried that Jonnyboy, but still no luck. :(

I think the error is here:

Bfedir=Batch FileName Editor

Should be:

Bfedir="Batch FileName Editor"

in addition the other changes in my previous post.

When the inf tries to make the shortcut it will silently fail if it can't find the file c:\Program files\Batch FileName Editor\Nameditor.exe

Because of the spaces the inf will not be able to create the shortcut, without wrapping the %Bfedir% in quotes.

OK, Thanks. Try this. Also why did you change the file names?

[BFNE.AddShortcut]
Name =Batch FileName Editor
CmdLine =16422,%Bfedir%,Nameditor.exe
SubDir =Batch FileName Editor 4.5
WorkingDir =16422,%Bfedir%
InfoTip =Batch File Renamer

[Uninstall.AddShortcut]
Name =Unistall
CmdLine =16422,%Bfedir%,uninstall.exe
SubDir =Batch FileName Editor 4.5
WorkingDir =16422,%Bfedir%
InfoTip =Uninstall

Also take a look at this. Batch FileName Editor 4.5

Sometimes shortcuts will not work so here is an alternative. I have not tested it yet, I need to setup a XP on VMW. All you need to do is use the modded .inf, add the 2 files to your .cab and arc.

Let me know if that worked.

LUZR there is a solution to ProfileItems (shortcuts) with spaces in the EXE name...just use the 8.3 filename example

Change

CmdLine=16422,SubFolderName,EXE Name.exe

To

CmdLine=16422,SubFolderName,EXENAM~1.EXE

You can use CMenu if you have it to get the 8.3 filename, just right click on the EXE Name and choose: More Options -> Path To Clipboard -> 8.3 Name

BTW you DONT have to change the name of EXE Name.exe in CopyFiles just the shortcut's command line

I was just trying different thinks with the filenames to see if I could get it to work.

I have tried your modded .inf & added the .lnk files, but FGCBA gives me an error....

Thanx for the info ricktendo64, you made it all look so easy in your tutorial :worthy: , but its not :D:D

LUZR4LIFE, I have just created an addon using the new 5.3 version, and the shortcuts work fine with that :g:
