System functions not being correctly copied
« on: November 09, 2013, 07:54 AM »
WIN XP(SP3) 32bit
LBC 1.137.01
When a desktop shortcut to Shutdown.exe is created, switches are appended to the end:
"shutdown -s -t 00" for shutdown
"shutdown -r -t 00" for reboot
"shutdown -l -t 00" for logoff
when these shortcuts are dragged to LBC the switches are not copied.
Would that be a feature or a bug?

On my win8.1 surface the parameters are copied,
however the icons are not copied.

That sounds like a bug expat -- can you tell me what option you choose when you drop it?

I simply "Copy Shortcut Properties".
As identified in one of my other submissions, the three functions require individual authorisation as opposed to a "yes to all" option

Can you give me an example screenshot of the right-click properties dialog of pne of the desktop shortcut showing the commandline parameters?

Can you try something for me -- if you make a copy of the shortcut and replace the %windir% with the actual windows directory, does LBC copy the shortcut properties in that case?

No such luck. have screen dump of both the LBC configuration screen and the .exe properties if you need them.
In reality, I have already tried to send these twice but for some reason I keep getting timed out by the forum server when I send them and the reply is dropped >:(

Hi Mouser, You'll probably want to shoot me!
Had another look at the LBC configuration and the parameters ARE copied, just not to where I expected them.
In my defence, :-[ I was phased by the fact that the shortcuts appeared with strange images and all three application commands referred simply to "shutdown.exe". I was afraid to even test the links because I simply didn't want the system to interpret "logoff" as shut down at that point in time. I've now observed that there is an "arguments" field and, as you can see, the switches all go in there - as they should.

I must admit, it is VERY confusing that they are shown in a big box at the bottom.
I should fix that and put them in a format that one would expect.
