Create a Windows Shortcut (.lnk) in Go

问题

I would like to create a Windows Shortcut (.lnk) to the desktop and the startmenu in Golang.

I actually got the Desktop & Startmenu folders via the gowin module and I would like to create a shortcut to thoses locations.

I searched but I did not find any golang project for it. Should I create it ? Is there an other pretty method ?

Using https://github.com/go-ole/go-ole:

ole.CoInitializeEx(0, ole.COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED|ole.COINIT_SPEED_OVER_MEMORY)
oleShellObject, err := oleutil.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
if err != nil {
    return err
}
defer oleShellObject.Release()
wshell, err := oleShellObject.QueryInterface(ole.IID_IDispatch)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
defer wshell.Release()
cs, err := oleutil.CallMethod(wshell, "CreateShortcut", dst)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
idispatch := cs.ToIDispatch()
oleutil.PutProperty(idispatch, "TargetPath", src)
oleutil.CallMethod(idispatch, "Save")

No, there isn't any pretty method for creating .lnk file, in golang.

Primary reason is that, .lnk files are windows specific.

In Windows, even a native program need to use OLE (Object linking and embedding) and COM (component object model) to create a shortcut file, as described in this answer.

In my opinion, One way to approach this problem in golang is to use gowin, and try to communicate with OLE COM.

Write a native windows component that does actual work of creating .lnk file, and just spawn its process through your go program.

Solution via external program from this subject:

Shortcut executable from NirSoft

shortcut "f:\winnt\system32\calc.exe" "~$folder.desktop$" "Windows Calculator" 
shortcut "f:\winnt\system32\calc.exe" "~$folder.programs$\Calculators" "Windows Calculator" 
shortcut "f:\Program Files\KaZaA\Kazaa.exe" "c:\temp\MyShortcuts" "Kazaa" 
shortcut "f:\Program Files" "c:\temp\MyShortcuts" "Program Files Folder" "" "f:\winnt\system32\shell32.dll" 45 
shortcut "f:\Program Files" "c:\temp\MyShortcuts" "Program Files Folder" "" "" "" "max"

Shortcut executable from Optimumx

Shortcut.exe /f:"%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\sc.lnk" /a:c  /t:%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\scrum.pdf

.vbs

Set oWS = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sLinkFile = "C:\MyShortcut.LNK"
Set oLink = oWS.CreateShortcut(sLinkFile)
    oLink.TargetPath = "C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyProgram.EXE"
 '  oLink.Arguments = ""
 '  oLink.Description = "MyProgram"   
 '  oLink.HotKey = "ALT+CTRL+F"
 '  oLink.IconLocation = "C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyProgram.EXE, 2"
 '  oLink.WindowStyle = "1"   
 '  oLink.WorkingDirectory = "C:\Program Files\MyApp"
oLink.Save

Powershell script

set TARGET='D:\Temp'
set SHORTCUT='C:\Temp\test.lnk'
set PWS=powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NonInteractive -NoProfile

%PWS% -Command "$ws = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell; $s = $ws.CreateShortcut(%SHORTCUT%); $S.TargetPath = %TARGET%; $S.Save()"

The AWFUL Working golang solution using VBS;

package main

import(
    "bytes"
    "fmt"
    "io/ioutil"
    "os"
    "os/exec"
)

func createShortcut(linkName string, target string, arguments string, directory string, description string, destination string) {
    var scriptTxt bytes.Buffer
    scriptTxt.WriteString("option explicit\n\n")
    scriptTxt.WriteString("sub CreateShortCut()\n")
    scriptTxt.WriteString("dim objShell, strDesktopPath, objLink\n")
    scriptTxt.WriteString("set objShell = CreateObject(\"WScript.Shell\")\n")
    scriptTxt.WriteString("strDesktopPath = objShell.SpecialFolders(\"")
    scriptTxt.WriteString(destination)
    scriptTxt.WriteString("\")\n")
    scriptTxt.WriteString("set objLink = objShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktopPath & \"\\")
    scriptTxt.WriteString(linkName)
    scriptTxt.WriteString(".lnk\")\n")
    scriptTxt.WriteString("objLink.Arguments = \"")
    scriptTxt.WriteString(arguments)
    scriptTxt.WriteString("\"\n")
    scriptTxt.WriteString("objLink.Description = \"")
    scriptTxt.WriteString(description)
    scriptTxt.WriteString("\"\n")
    scriptTxt.WriteString("objLink.TargetPath = \"")
    scriptTxt.WriteString(target)
    scriptTxt.WriteString("\"\n")
    scriptTxt.WriteString("objLink.WindowStyle = 1\n")
    scriptTxt.WriteString("objLink.WorkingDirectory = \"")
    scriptTxt.WriteString(directory)
    scriptTxt.WriteString("\"\n")
    scriptTxt.WriteString("objLink.Save\nend sub\n\n")
    scriptTxt.WriteString("call CreateShortCut()")
    fmt.Print(scriptTxt.String())

    filename := fmt.Sprintf("lnkTo%s.vbs", destination)
    ioutil.WriteFile(filename, scriptTxt.Bytes(), 0777)
    cmd := exec.Command("wscript", filename)
    err := cmd.Run()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }
    cmd.Wait()
    os.Remove(filename)
    return
}
