Removing shortcuts

[Gaelds]

I'm having trouble removing desktop icons after installing certain packages, including Adobe Reader DC and Algobox. Do you have a command that would work for these two programs?

Here are the instructions I had put in my packages so far, which do not delete anything.

Code: Select all

remove_file(makepath(common_desktop(),'Acrobat Reader DC.lnk'))
remove_desktop_shortcut('Algobox')
remove_user_desktop_shortcut('Algobox')

Otherwise, I also have the PhotoFiltre 7 shortcut which won't delete.

`remove_desktop_shortcut('Algobox')` Removes the shortcut from the public Desktop folder (available to all users).


`remove_user_desktop_shortcut('Algobox')` Removes the shortcut from the current user's Desktop folder.

Therefore, it must be placed in a session setup.


For example, PhotoFiltre will create the shortcut on the user's Start menu (often the administrator).

Thank you, session_setup works for Algobox and Photofiltre but the Acrobat shortcut is on the public desktop and remove_desktop_shortcut() does not work.

I'm still stuck on removing the icons from the Public desktop because of:

• Adobe reader DC
  Paint.NET
  Photofiltre 7
  Audacity

I tried with
remove_file(makepath(common_desktop(),'SHORTCOURCI.lnk'))
or remove_desktop_shortcut('Shortcut.lnk') is the same thing
