Shortcuts creation

[coucou]

Hi,

I've noticed that no shortcuts created in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs" for the apps installed by archive SFX extract (Programs that don't need to be installed).

Is there any how to set those shortcuts?

Well you can use AutoIt to create shortcuts....tho I think there is some apps out there that make it even easier....I know its been discussed a few times in the unattended OS part of the forum. So perform a few searchs in that one.

I like using NirCmd, just add the nircmd.exe to the $OEM$\$$\system32 folder and create shortcuts via a cmd file.

TNX all,

I've had allways difficulties using AutoIT. Then i prefere using DigeratiPrime method... ihope.

May you (DigeratiPrime) give me an example of creating the shortcut here bellow unattended with RunOnceEX.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\SysInfo\AIDA32

I've said many times the simplest way to have shortcuts imported to a new install, is to have your shortcuts in the same way you want themn to appear - and place them on your uA CD:

$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\

Similarly for desktop, and QuickLaunch, etc.

But how do you get them to appear in the order you want as oppsed to alphabetical without having to rename them with 01, 02 ,03.....

i'm sorry, its not clear here if there is a way to create a shortcut from file x in location y

search for shortcut.exe & typing shortcut /? @ cmdline will give u a syntax on how 2 do it , then just run a .bat/cmd/exe from your sfx 2 call shortcut.exe 2 install shortcuts

Sure no problem, where do you want to make the shortcut?

I do this during cleanup.cmd, to create shorcuts to other NirSoft Utilities i add.

Just have nircmd.exe in system32, i assume you know how to use runonceex.

In this example I create 2 folders: Utilities (in Start Menu) and NirSoft Utilities (in Utilities), and add shorcuts to the programs in there.

cmdow @ /HID
shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now complete setup and restart in 1 minute..."
net user aspnet /delete


set AUStart=%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs
set UserStart=%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs
set UserStart=%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs
set UserQL=%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
set AUDesk=%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop

How can i create shortcuts of all that's in My Computer? i'd like to have shortcuts of the drives on the desktop. i've just been fiddling with nircmd right now and it's a nifty prog

[muiz]

I make the shortcut on a working machine and make an sfx of them with winrar

And i can place the shortcuts where ever i want with it.
