I have a program that has links to its .exe in several other folders
(drag the .exe to another folder while holding down the Shift/Control
keys). Upon starting, I need program to determine the folder name of
the link that started it. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

I can't think of a way to do this specifically but I have a
workaround. If you include the PATH to the folder containing the
shortcut as a parameter in your shortcut, you can use ParamStr to
extract this and there you go...

Thanks all. This sounds like the best idea. I didn't know you
could pass a ParamStr through a link.

not sure exactly the order of what you need however, the
Application.FileName or what ever that was, contains the
folder where the EXE is operating from.

Like I said, I am not sure of what you're doing but, maybe
you're only shifting directories in which case, you can use the
"GetDirectory" to return a string of the current directory...

On a second note, if you are handling the drag drop operation, you
should be able to know exactly where things are?
