Creating shortcuts requires the use of the File Shell object. The following scripts demonstrate the use of the File Shell object to create shortcuts.
// JScript. Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); DesktopPath = Shell.SpecialFolders("Desktop"); link = Shell.CreateShortcut(DesktopPath + "\\test.lnk"); link.Arguments = "1 2 3"; link.Description = "test shortcut"; link.HotKey = "CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+X"; link.IconLocation = "foo.exe,1"; link.TargetPath = "c:\\blah\\foo.exe"; link.WindowStyle = 3; link.WorkingDirectory = "c:\\blah"; link.Save(); ' VBScript. Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") DesktopPath = Shell.SpecialFolders("Desktop") Set link = Shell.CreateShortcut(DesktopPath & "\test.lnk") link.Arguments = "1 2 3" link.Description = "test shortcut" link.HotKey = "CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+X" link.IconLocation = "foo.exe,1" link.TargetPath = "c:\blah\foo.exe" link.WindowStyle = 3 link.WorkingDirectory = "c:\blah" link.Save
