Advanced Settings for shortcuts

[JerryD]

Hi,

I'm creating a script that downloads and installs some command line utilities, but have run into a minor snag.

The FileCreateShortcut function doesn't allow for setting special options found in shortcuts to command line utilities. Specifically, I'd like the shortcut to have 'Quick Edit mode' enabled, the DOS window it runs in to have a particular buffer size (100w x 9999h) and window size (100w x 50h), for it to position in a particular spot, and for the text color to be yellow.

I haven't been able to find anything on setting these options pro programatically, and I don't want to set them by bringing up the Property Sheet and modifying it there.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
