Shortcut with parameters
How can i make an shortcut that executes an command with parameters


I have created an shortcut like this:
CreateShortCut "Start.lnk" '"C:\Start.exe" -k install'

And what i get is an schortcut with the commando
"C:\"C:\Start.exe" -k install"

What i want is the next shortcut:
"C:\Start.exe" -k install

But How???? :confused:

It's in the FAQ:

I am having problems with CreateShortCut
Make sure you have separated the parameters from the target file.
For example, if you want to create a shortcut to notepad with $INSTDIR\Readme.txt as a parameter don't use:

CreateShortcut"myshortcut.lnk""notepad.exe$INSTDIR\\Readme.txt"

Use two separate strings:

CreateShortcut"myshortcut.lnk""notepad.exe""$INSTDIR\\Readme.txt"
