FOXUSER on the Desktop

[amwprogg]

Hi all.
I've written a thread on this subject before, but I'm still having problems. I can't stop the FOXUSER files from appearing on the desktop when I run my application. I've tried SET RESOURCE pathname\FOXUSER to no avail.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Andy.

Andy,
SET RESOURCE TO .. in exe is too late. Put in your Config.FPW (and build it in EXE) RESOURCE=OFF and then put SET RESOURCE in EXE. BTW This file apears on Desktop because When you create a Setup and put ShortCut on desktop you didn't set Working folder for this icon, so it works in Deskop folder. When I create Setup (with ISE or IS 10.5) I always put in Working Directory = <TARGETDIR> for IS10.5
or
Working Directory = <INSTALLDIR> for ISE

Check your icon on your desktop, look for the "Start in" directory, it might be empty, so it think the starting directory is the desktop.
