Another newbie question - creating shortcuts on desktop

Hello All,
  How do I create my own shortcut on the Win7PE SE desktop?  I'm trying to run a batch file that will:
1)map a network drive
2)Switch to that drive and run a batch file from there.

I can write the batch files without a problem, but I'd like to put them on desktop so I can access them easily.

Actually, it would be even cooler if I could automate them to run on Windows startup - as if they were in the startup folder in the Start Menu.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can perhaps use "App\System Tools\Portable Finder CMD" but the AutoRun shortcut Inside (Add_Shortcut,AutoRun) is may be started too early to map your Network drive.

You can also create your own script to copy your bach file, create a shortcut (MacroLibrary/Add_Shortcut) and launch it via Autorun.cmd

Code: [Select]

If,ExistFile,"%target_sys%\autorun.cmd",Begin
TXTDelLine,%target_sys%\autorun.cmd,exit
TXTAddLine,%target_sys%\autorun.cmd,"start blablabla",Append
TXTAddLine,%target_sys%\autorun.cmd,exit,Append
End

To add a pause and wait for the network if needed. Galapo's Sleep.exe is included in the build http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=52.0
