Shortcut [Version 1.11]
Creates, modifies or queries Windows shell links (shortcuts)
The syntax of this command is:
shortcut /F:filename /A:C|E|Q [/T:target] [/P:parameters] [/W:workingdir]
[/R:runstyle] [/I:icon,index] [/H:hotkey] [/D:description]
/F:filename : Specifies the .LNK shortcut file.
/A:action : Defines the action to take (C=Create, E=Edit or Q=Query).
/T:target : Defines the target path and file name the shortcut points to.
/P:parameters : Defines the command-line parameters to pass to the target.
/W:working dir : Defines the working directory the target starts with.
/R:run style : Defines the window state (1=Normal, 3=Max, 7=Min).
/I:icon,index : Defines the icon and optional index (file.exe or file.exe,0).
/H:hotkey : Defines the hotkey, a numeric value of the keyboard shortcut.
/D:description : Defines the description (or comment) for the shortcut.
Notes:
- Any argument that contains spaces must be enclosed in "double quotes".
- If Query is specified (/A:Q), all arguments except /F: are ignored.
- To find the numeric hotkey value, use Explorer to set a hotkey and then /A:Q
- To prevent an environment variable from being expanded until the shortcut
is launched, use the ^ carat escape character like this: ^%WINDIR^%
Examples:
/f:"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\My App.lnk" /a:q
/f:"%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Notepad.lnk" /a:c /t:^%WINDIR^%\Notepad.exe /h:846
/f:"%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Notepad.lnk" /a:e /p:C:\Setup.log /r:3
An argument of /? or -? displays this syntax and returns 1.
A successful completion will return 0.
