In the previous tip we created new shortcut files, and you have seen how the CreateShortcut() method provides methods to control almost any detail of a shortcut. Here’s the code again that creates a PowerShell shortcut on your Desktop:
$path = [Environment]::GetFolderPath('Desktop') | Join-Path -ChildPath 'myLink.lnk' $scut = (New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell).CreateShortcut($path) $scut.TargetPath = 'powershell.exe' $scut.IconLocation = 'powershell.exe,0' $scut.Save()
That’s all to it: on your desktop there is now a new PowerShell link. Adjust the code above to create shortcuts to other applications and paths.
