ekotek Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Okay, I'm probably going to feel really stupid when I see the answer, but I just can't seem to find anything in help or the forum on how to create a shortcut that points to a directory/folder instead of to an actual file... Can anyone help, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
careca Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hello, i think you can just create a shortcut as you normally would, then use the install function to save/deploy it.Or you could create a batch file, pointing to the file you want.Or use XXMKLINK. Spoiler Renamer - Rename files and folders, remove portions of text from the filename etc. GPO Tool - Export/Import Group policy settings. MirrorDir - Synchronize/Backup/Mirror Folders BeatsPlayer - Music player. Params Tool - Right click an exe to see it's parameters or execute them. String Trigger - Triggers pasting text or applications or internet links on specific strings. Inconspicuous - Hide files in plain sight, not fully encrypted. Regedit Control - Registry browsing history, quickly jump into any saved key. Time4Shutdown - Write the time for shutdown in minutes.
