Remove the " "

"16422,%Bfedir%"

Name =Batch FileName Editor 4.5CmdLine =16422,%Bfedir%,Nameditor.exeSubDir =%Bfedir%WorkingDir=16422,%Bfedir%InfoTip =Batch File Rernamer

Thanx for you reply LUZR4LIFE, I have tried removing the "" but it didn't work

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.

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.

I have made all the changes you suggested Jonnyboy, but it still doesn't work

Can you give me a link for the 4.5 exe, I can not get it to DL? Also, there is a 5.3 out.

I didnt know there was new version out LUZR4LIFE, but here is version 4.5, hope rapidshare is ok,

Batch FileName Editor v4.5!

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

[BFNE.AddShortcut]Name        =Batch FileName EditorCmdLine    =16422,%Bfedir%,Nameditor.exeSubDir       =Batch FileName Editor 4.5WorkingDir =16422,%Bfedir%InfoTip       =Batch File Renamer[Uninstall.AddShortcut]Name        =UnistallCmdLine    =16422,%Bfedir%,uninstall.exeSubDir       =Batch FileName Editor 4.5WorkingDir =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.

Edited July 27, 200816 yr by LUZR4LIFE

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

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