creating shortcuts from WSH with javascript

made a little function in jscript (run with wsh or csh cscript wscript) to create windows shortcuts automatically to the desktop,...

might still be a bug in it for targetpath, but it works kinda good already ;)

//createShortCut ("shortcutname","c:\windows\notepad.exe","c:\temp\somefile.txt","c:\temp")

function createShortCut(name , target, args, wdir) {

var shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");

var dpath = shell.SpecialFolders("Desktop");

var short = shell.CreateShortcut(dpath + "\\" + name + ".lnk");

short.TargetPath = '"'+target+'" '+args;

short.WorkingDirectory = wdir;

short.WindowStyle = 0;

short.IconLocation = target+",0";

return(short.Save());

}
