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.

Ok, thank you very much!

The solution is not necessarily ideal, but I probably troubleshoot ... Again thank you

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

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 ...)
