Hi

Is there a way to use a batch file or script to do the following;

1. Create a folder X

2. Copy a file form another location to folder X.

3. Create a shortcut to copied file in folder X on the desktop?

If batch or script can not do this, is there another way?

Thanks

Regards

Hi

A couple of additions to the last questions.

How can I

a. Add a specific icon (world icon) form the
%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll to the created shortcut?

b. Any way to scan all icons on the desktop and if any shortcut already has
the world icon to change it to something else form
%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll ?

Many thanks. Sorry for all the questiosn but I am new to this.

Regards

These two are easy of course. mkdir to create a folder, copy to copy a
file into it.

>3. Create a shortcut to copied file in folder X on the desktop?

That's hard. A Google search turns up this:
http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy38.htm. That page describes XXMKLINK which
they claim will create a shortcut from the command line. There's a
link at the bottom of the page to download the tool, which is free.
All I know about it is what's on that page, I've never used it.

Xxcopy doesn't work with SP3.

Yet.

Is it fixed now?

Ask the Author, Kan Yabubumoto.

Please don't answer with non-answers. Totally useless.

Try this:

Shortcut 1.11 24 KB (Freeware)
http://www.optimumx.com/download/#Shortcut

"/
Allows you to create, modify or query Windows shell
links (shortcuts) from the command-line. You can
export the properties of an existing shortcut to a
text file in .INI format. Use 'Shortcut /?' to view
the syntax.
/"


ju.c

Interesting, but I'm not talking about xxcopy. This is a different
program, apparently from the same place, called xxmklink. It doesn't
copy files, it makes a link. I don't see any mention of SP3 on the
page.

Oh, I thought xxmklink was an xxcopy command. Doh!
