I would like to know if there is a DOS-Command in WinXP to create shortcuts (to an executable). I’m looking for DOS-Command if it is available, not a batch or script file (I’m only finding batch files and vbscipts when I search online).
Just to give you a background on what i’m doing, I would like Visual Studio 2005 to create a shortcut to the executable as part of the post-build event, and I was hoping to use a DOS-Command to do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
batch files are files with DOS commands. If you’re looking for DOS commands (and it takes more than a single step), then batch files are what you want.
If you want to use it in your post-build event, then a batch file will work just fine. Just type it in and it will work as if it were a DOS command.
