If your question still persists, then maybe the following code for an installer
will help. It copies six files into a subfolder of Program Files, and optionally
makes shortcuts to the desktop, Start\Programs, and Start\Programs\StartUp.
The shortcuts are made using Semen Matusovski's very fine routine, CreateShortcut.
To be honest, I don't understand Semen's routine very well, but fortunately, it is
very easy to use. Thanks to Semen if this is of any help.
