Question : Remove shortcuts possibility in a web page or to put in favorite

Hello all.

I would like to put a code in every page of my web site that will prevent somebody to create a shortcuts or to put it in there favorite.

What I could also do, I want people that when the put to there favorites or maybe to create a shortcuts, it will take the address page of one specific page.

Is this possible?

How can I do this please?

Thanks again for your help.

Answer : Remove shortcuts possibility in a web page or to put in favorite

Hello,

I had this problem too... so with some modifications and using another way to access the Windows Registry (not using Registry.pas) i have done with no problems...

The code below is a litghtweight replacement for Registry.pas with modifications to work with KEY_WOW64_64KEY/KEY_WOW64_32KEY Flags

Basic use in your case

Setting up your program as Shell
[code]WinRegSetString(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell', 'YourProgram.exe', True);[/code]

if you put a "Blackslash" at the key like ('SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell\') it will create a New "Key" called Shell... with no blackslash it will access a Value called Shell... the same for all functions

Return to the Windows Shell
[code]WinRegSetString(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell', 'Explorer.exe', True);[/code]

Reading the current shell
[code]var
 szBuff: String;
begin
 WinRegGetString(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell', szBuff, True);
  ShowMessage('"' + szBuff + '"');[/code]

Hope it help you!
Regards,
Carlos
