    Create shortcuts in the command line

    Hello!

    I just spent an afternoon on my XP to try to create shortcuts (called "symbolic link" under UNIX) with the command line.
    No results
    My problem is: I really need to create shortcuts (from python, which is normally filled launch any command line tool) with a partial mirror script Debian deposit before work (at least ) under linux and windows!

    Can anyone help me?

    thank you for your answers,

    I think you should go through a VB script.But I even also heard that similar to the built-in START command, in addition to normal, minimized and maximized an applicatin you could also use an commands from Command line.

    With WSH (you should be able to call via Python I think):

    Code:
    WshShell = CreateObject ( "WScript.Shell") 
      strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders ( "Desktop") 
      oMyShortcut = WshShell.CreateShortcut (strDesktop + "\ Sample.lnk") 
      oMyShortcut.WindowStyle = 3 & & 7 = Minimized Maximized 4 = Normal  
      oMyShortcut.IconLocation = "C: \ myicon.ico" 
      OMyShortcut.TargetPath = "% windir% \ notepad.exe" 
      oMyShortCut.Hotkey = "ALT + CTRL + F" 
      oMyShortCut.Save

    Ok, thank you all.

    I will (initially) to use the command line tool proposed by Paramartha, before getting into the WSH (or outright IShellLink via PyWin32 ...)
