  • 0

In any language really, im looking for a simple (very simple) way to control the position of a shortcut on the users desktop. I already make the assumption that Auto Arrange and Align to Grid are unchecked.

Ex: The program creates the shortcut to the desktop than places it at position (450,302) on the desktop.

I know how to create shortcuts, but i dont know how to control their placement on the desktop.

    One can use an automation program such as AutoIt or AutoHotkey to simulate the user clicking and moving the shortcut to another location. These programs can also create the shortcut and place it on the desktop.
