Create shortcuts on the desktop

ReadingCodeBefore that, let's take a look at the structure of the "shortcut" component.

 
Figure 2 interface structure of the shortcut component

From the structure diagram, we can see that the "shortcut" component (clsid_shelllink) has three (in fact, more than one) interfaces, each of which completes a set of functions. The ishelllink interface (iid_ishelllink) provides a shortcut for parameter read/write (see figure 3). The ipersistfile interface (iid_ipersistfile) provides a shortcut for persistent file read/write. Object persistence (note 5) is a very common and powerful interface family. But today, we only need to know two of these functions: ipersistfile: Save () and ipersistfile: load (). (Note 6)
