    Creating Shortcuts with Batch File

    No error, when I run the BAT file the CMD prompt shows and looks like it did stuff. But no shortcut on my Desktop.

    Creating Shortcuts with Batch File

    Tried both of the VB Scripts that you provided and adding the 9 switch to the batch file but neither was able to create a shortcut to my desktop.

    Creating Shortcuts with Batch File

    So basically my Batch File will now look like this:

    Code: @Echo off CreateShortcut.exe "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Notepad.lnk" "C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe"[/quote] Thanks man! *Big Grin How to disable shortcuts and files mixing when moving files to the desktop? :D This does exactly what I want done and I'm able to customize the icon for the shortcut without problems. But I'm not quite sure how to use the [icon file] portion you mentioned that it supports. I tried the following Batch File:

    Code: @Echo off CreateShortcut.exe "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Notepad.lnk" "C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe" "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\Notepad.ico"[/quote] It created the shortcut but didn't change the icon.
