    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

    Hmm, I just tried it and it worked fine. Maybe try running the batch as administrator? Also, right click on the desktop after the shortcut is created and click Refresh.

    If the file in the third parameter doesn't exist, it assumes the icon is in the application.
