How do you change a Windows shortcut using Python? e.g. from: H:\My Music\some_file.mp3 to: D:\Users\Myself\My Music\some_file.mp3 Here's another, more appropriate way to do this in Python with Winshell library: Using Python to create Windows shortcuts . In your case the code will look like: import os, winshell from win32com.client import Dispatch desktop = winshell.desktop() path = os.path.join(desktop, "some_file.mp3.lnk") target = r"D:\Users\Myself\My Music\some_file.mp3" wDir = r"D:\Users\Myself\My Music" icon = r"D:\Users\Myself\My Music\some_file.mp3" shell = Dispatch('WScript.Shell')

Eclipse used to import missing packages when I press Ctrl + Shift + O . The shortcut key has stopped working when used in Java files but the same shortcut is working in Python files (importing missing packages). Any thoughts on how to fix the issue. Below are couple of snapshots for your reference. user2153465 To fix this issue: Go to Preferences -> General -> Keys Click on Filters... and de-select Filter uncategorized commands then Ok . Then look for the command Go To Symbol in File and select it. Then click on Unbind and then Apply and Close Ctrl + Shift + O . should now work. EDIT: Also

Visual Studio 2010 adds a zoom setting on the bottom left of the text editor (to the left of the horizontal scroll bar) and also adopts the Ctrl +mouse scroll idiom for zooming in and out. The former is fine, but I dislike the latter as I am occasionally still holding control when I start scrolling my source code (which results in the text size radically changing and completely throwing me off whatever I was doing). How do I disable it? drharris Go to Tools->Extension manager, and search the online gallery for "wheel". Download "Disable Mouse Wheel Zoom" Or use this direct link: Disable Mouse

I've written a simple FTP based file synchronization program. The settings of which can be stored in an XML file. I want users to be able to quickly open the program using various configurations. So I set up the program to be able to read the path to a config file through command line argument. This way shortcuts can be created on the desktop based on different config files. Now I'm trying to add a feature that will automatically create the shortcut for a specific config file. I've tried using the example from this post using ShellLink.cs. And I've also tried using IWshRuntimeLibrary as

I have a feeling I should be able add a directory to the PATH environment variable on an application-lifetime basis, but I can't find out how to do this. Is it possible to add a parameter to a Windows shortcut that appends a directory to the current value of PATH for use by the application being linked? GvS Let the shortcut execute a batch file (.cmd), that Sets the environment variable execute the app You use "START" to execute the app, this will start the app in another process, but it will copy the environment. You do not wait for the app to finish. Now you can exit the batch file. Should

I have a game that uses this file structure: GAME FOLDER ->data ->data->run.bat I want to put a shortcut to run.bat in GAME FOLDER, but if I move it, or someone else installs it it won't work, because the target is wrong. Is there a way to make the target and "start in" relative to GAME FOLDER? leoj Right click on your /bat/ folder and click Create Shortcut . On Windows 7 you will get bat - Shortcut in the current directory. On Windows XP you will get Shortcut to bat . Right click on the shortcut you just created and click Properties .

In WIX, how do you create a non advertised shortcut in the allusers profile? So far I've only been able to accomplish this with advertised shortcuts. I prefer non-advertised shortcuts because you can go to the shortcut's properties and use "find target". In the tutorials I've seen use a registry value for the keypath of a shortcut. The problem is they use HKCU as the root. When HKCU is used, and another user uninstalls the program (since it's installed for all users) the registry key is left behind. When I use HKMU as the root I get an ICE57 error, but the key is removed when another user
