Batch Files - Creating Shortcuts

[Guest]

Hello,

I am currently writing a batch file. Have copied the files successfully but
now need to make a shortcut to one of the files appear on the desktop. Any
ideas how I can do this?

Many Thanks

Neil

Create a shortcut in advance and copy it to the desktop later.

Hi,

Some free command line tools for shortcut creation:

Alternatively, you can use a VBScript to create the shortcut:
