rundll32.exe appwiz.cpl,NewlInkHere is back
For some reason it was quite common to use an undocumented (and hence unsupported and we-can-pull-rug-underneath-at-any-time) export from the appwiz.cpl called newlinkhere. This export was removed in Vista. Since this was quite a popular export (live.com for it yourself, you’ll see) we decided at a late stage to put it back in. I haven’t verified it but it should be in the RTM version. You would use it like this:
rundll32.exe appwiz.cpl,NewlInkHere

Well, "rundll32.exe appwiz.cpl,NewlInkHere" is back. But now it is completely buggy! All it do now is rename the folder into the shortcut name. It was better when NewlInkHere was removed.Anonymous

Hi, I spend 5 hours and find out following in Vista rundll32.exe appwiz.cpl,NewlInkHere accept path to FILE so under Vista you should -
- Create File.lnk
- Call rundll32.exe appwiz.cpl,NewlInkHere c:..File.lnk That's all folks :)
