Custom Shortcuts in INF Files


Recommended Posts

Thanks Yzöwl! :thumbup

I thought about using short file names too. But I was wondering if there was a means to handle file names with spaces. I guess not. I tried sticking multiple quotes everywhere to no avail. It seems that .inf file conventions can not handle file names with spaces (though they do handle long file names without them).

Short names get tricky if one has a folder full of files with similarly named files.

On the plus side, the Windows XP shortcut ends up pointing to the long file name, even though the short name was specified.

I just noticed that every Program Files group I've created with an .inf file is user-based, not under All Users.

Q: Using an .inf file, how can you create program groups/shortcuts under each of these?

  1. All Users Profile
  2. Default User's Profile
  3. Current User's Profile

I know if the .inf is run at a certain point of Windows Setup, that Default User will be the current user, so groups and shortcuts will end up under each new user account created afterward. But I'm looking for an .inf file syntax answer here.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!
