You may need to refresh the desktop for the changes to take effect.

I got someone else to try it but it didn't seem to work.
I was unable to run it on my computer as it said access denied. I don't supose you know of a way on how to grant me access again. This is my computer and started saying that around a few month ago...

Are you running as a privileged user, such as Admin? You may have to open regedit and change the permissions on that subkey to allow your user to modify it.

Summary: Hello is there a way to create a desktop shortcut using a batch file? I want to automate putting a shortcut to the user drive out on the desktop. Thanks in advance ...
Summary: How can I get windows to redraw the desktop wallpaper, so if I change it via the registry, then changes take effect right away using Visual C++ 6.0 or Visual Basic? Thanks ...
