WshUrlShortcut Object 

Allows you to create a shortcut to an Internet resource programmatically.

Remarks

The WshUrlShortcut object is a child object of the WshShell object — you must use the WshShell method CreateShortcut to create a WshUrlShortcut object *(*e.g., WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop & "\Shortcut Script.lnk")).

Example

The following example demonstrates the creation of a URL shortcut to www.microsoft.com.

<package>

   <job id="vbs">

      <script language="VBScript">

         set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

         set oUrlLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop & "\Microsoft Web Site.url")

         oUrlLink.TargetPath = "https://www.microsoft.com"

         oUrlLink.Save

      </script>

   </job>



   <job id="js">

      <script language="JScript">

         var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");

         var oUrlLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop + "\\Microsoft Web Site.url");

         oUrlLink.TargetPath = "https://www.microsoft.com";

         oUrlLink.Save();
