Paradox shortcut ICON

[mtanney]

When I open a pre existing form in Paradox a shortcut ICON is created on the workstation desktop.

How can I disable the option that is creating the shortcut?

mtanney,

Hm. I've not seen this behavior. How was the form created? Are you using the Application Framework? Which version of Paradox?

Is it possible there's some code on the form that adds the shortcut?

You are probably running an older version like Paradox 4.5. If the file being create is called "$palmem$". Whenever you open Paradox it creates this file in the Private Directory. Under the C:\ drive create a folder, and name it anything you want, I usually use "PDOXPVT", and just leave it empty. Now open Paradox to go to "Utilities" then "Custom" then "Network". You don't have to put in a user name, but you do have to put in a path for the "Private Directory", the directoy must exist allready because Paradox will not create one. In the box "Private Directory" enter "C:\pdoxpvt" or what ever yuo named the file, then click "OK" Then click "Do-It" then click "Network". This will save a file in your pdoxpvt directory called "Paradox.cfg", now create a shortcut to Paradox,then right click and open "Properties". Click on "Program Tab" if The Cmd line is "C:\pdox45\paradox.exe -extk 16000" the "Working Directory" will probably defualt "C:\pdox45", change it "C:\pdoxpvt". Now when open Paradox it will still create the file, but in the "Pdoxpvt Directory" and know one will see it.
