Call me stupid, but I can't figure out the right way to do this. I want to create a shortcut that points back to C:\Windows\Sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:unattend.xml.

What is the syntax for creating a regular desktop shortcut for this? I want to put the shortcut on a USB drive so I can avoid having to type or copy-paste the same text when I want to sysprep a machine (mainly in a testing phase at this point().

What about having a batch file on the UFD?

Working with shortcuts can be a problem because say you put that UFD on a PC that isn't Vista, it will change the shortcut info just by viewing the folder. This is why I don't recommend copying shortcuts because it can flake out on you.
