Save Method (Windows Script Host)
Saves a shortcut object to disk.
object
.Save
Arguments
- object
WshShortcut or WshUrlShortcut object.
Remarks
After using the CreateShortcut method to create a shortcut object and set the shortcut object's properties, the Save method must be used to save the shortcut object to disk. The Save method uses the information in the shortcut object's FullName property to determine where to save the shortcut object on a disk. You can only create shortcuts to system objects. This includes files, directories, and drives (but does not include printer links or scheduled tasks).
Example
Description
The following example demonstrates the use of a single .wsf file for two jobs in different script languages (VBScript and JScript). Each job creates a shortcut to the script being run and a URLshortcut to www.microsoft.com.
<package>
<job id="vbs">
<script language="VBScript">
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop & "\Shortcut Script.lnk")
oShellLink.TargetPath = WScript.ScriptFullName
oShellLink.WindowStyle = 1
oShellLink.Hotkey = "CTRL+SHIFT+F"
oShellLink.IconLocation = "notepad.exe, 0"
oShellLink.Description = "Shortcut Script"
oShellLink.WorkingDirectory = strDesktop
oShellLink.Save
set oUrlLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop & "\Microsoft Web Site.url")
oUrlLink.TargetPath = "https://www.microsoft.com"
oUrlLink.Save
</script>
</job>
<job id="js">
<script language="JScript">
var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop");
var oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop + "\\Shortcut Script.lnk");
oShellLink.TargetPath = WScript.ScriptFullName;
oShellLink.WindowStyle = 1;
oShellLink.Hotkey = "CTRL+SHIFT+F";
oShellLink.IconLocation = "notepad.exe, 0";
oShellLink.Description = "Shortcut Script";
oShellLink.WorkingDirectory = strDesktop;
oShellLink.Save();
var oUrlLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop + "\\Microsoft Web Site.url");
oUrlLink.TargetPath = "https://www.microsoft.com";
oUrlLink.Save();
</script>
</job>
