Question

how to create a shortcut for a exe from a batch file.

i tried

call link.bat \"c:\\program Files\\App1\\program1.exe\" \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\         


        

Answer 1

This worked for me on Windows XP ms-dos, I still haven't tried it on Windows 7. It's just like creating a symbolic link in Linux.

shortcut -T source.exe destination.lnk
