Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
DesktopPath = Shell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set link = Shell.CreateShortcut(DesktopPath & "\test.lnk")
link.Arguments = "1 2 3"
link.Description = "test shortcut"
link.HotKey = "CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+X"
link.IconLocation = "foo.exe,1"
link.TargetPath = "c:\blah\foo.exe"
link.WindowStyle = 3
link.WorkingDirectory = "c:\blah"
link.Save


2. For this you can use "diskpart" if installed.
Start cmd prompt and type diskpart <ENTER>
If you finally see DISKPART> then you can use bat files for obtaining the hide/unhide process.

Let us know.

Tell me if Diskpart is available.
If it is, I will give you the programs for hide/unhide.

I think the homepage of IE can be changed in the registry.

Status: offline 		ahamami, I made a batch file OffBat.bat with the code

diskpart /s "X:\your path to\diskoff.txt"

I made a text file diskoff.txt with the lines :

REM DiskOff.txt

LIST VOLUME
LIST DISK
SELECT VOLUME N
REMOVE letter=N

On the other hand are a batch file OnBat.bat with the code

diskpart /s "X:\your path to\diskon.txt"

and a text file DiskOn.txt with lines

rem DISKOn.txt

LIST VOLUME
SELECT VOLUME=13
Assign letter=N


The line select volume=13 and the drive letter N have to be adapted to your configuration.
If you type diskpart in the command prompt window and type
list volume, you will find the correct volume values.

The hide command does not (always ?) remove the drive at once, but
then after reboot.

Regards.

do you happen to know also a script that creates a shortcut for a drive or a mapped drive just like the one posted above?

Status: offline 		ahamami, do you wish to make a shortcut by script comparable to a shortcut you can make by hand by dragging a drive from the windows explorer to for instance the desktop ?
