No nonsense, skip.

Create a shortcut//declaring an Action objectIwshruntimelibrary.wshshell Shell =NewIwshruntimelibrary.wshshellclass ();//Create a shortcutIwshruntimelibrary.iwshshortcut shortcut = (iwshruntimelibrary.iwshshortcut) shell. CreateShortcut ("C:\\yeaicc.lnk");//The associated programShortcut. TargetPath ="notepad.exe";//ParametersShortcut. Arguments ="C:\\yeaicc.txt";//shortcut description, mouse on the shortcut will be displayed OhShortcut. Description ="my shortcut--yeaicc";//Global HotkeyShortcut. Hotkey ="Ctrl+shift+n";//set the icon for the shortcut, here is the program icon, if you want to specify an ICO file, then write the path. Shortcut. IconLocation ="notepad.exe, 0";//save it and create it successfully. Shortcut. Save ();

Fourth Step read Shortcut properties

New= (iwshruntimelibrary.iwshshortcut) shell. CreateShortcut ("c:\\yeaicc.lnk"); // Pro, according to the code you just created, what attributes would you like to get? MessageBox.Show (ws. Description);

CreateShortcut (DesktopPath +"\ \ Automatically create +.lnk"); Shortcut. TargetPath=@"%homedrive%/program files\internet Explorer\iexplore. EXE"; Shortcut. Arguments="http://www.baidu.com";//Parametersshortcut. Description="Quick links to Web sites"; Shortcut. WorkingDirectory="e:\\publish Web Site\\clcs";//The folder where the program is located, right click on the shortcut icon to see this propertyshortcut. IconLocation=@"%homedrive%/program files\internet Explorer\iexplore. EXE, 0";//iconsshortcut. Hotkey="ctrl+shift+z";//Hotkeyshortcut. WindowStyle=1; Shortcut.        Save (); }    }}
