I have the following vbs script running as a logon script. But everytime
it
runs, When the shortcut is created, it is created with the symbol of no
icon.
How can I direct the icon location to an actual windows system icon file.
When I open up a file via properties, and browse for a new icon, it
directs
me to look in shell32.dll, but I can't find a way to get to all of those
icons shown in that window.

Thanks



set objShell = Wscript.Createobject("Wscript.Shell")
strDesktopFld = objShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set objURLShortcut = objShell.createShortcut(strDesktopFld &
"\Install-CoM-Applications.lnk")
'Name for Shortcut to add
objURLShortcut.Targetpath =
"http://localhost:9595/webportal/webportal.exe"
'Path to icon
objURLShortcut.IconLocation =
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobe\images\thanks8.png"
'Path for Shortcut
objURLShortcut.Save
