I propose a VBS script for managing shortcuts - shortcut . All the similar scripts that I found on the Internet did not suit me - I had to reinvent the wheel again.
Create shortcut shortcut " " "" ["" ["" [""]]]
Remove shortcut shortcut "" "" ""
Deleting a folder shortcut "" "" "*"
The parameter "" understands the values: - AllUsersDesktop; - AllUsersPrograms; - Desktop; - Programs; - QuickLaunch.
