shortcut_filename

String that identifies the shortcut name.

It does not require the .lnk extension.

Note:
Use only Unicode characters that can be converted into ANSI characters without data loss. This enables backward compatibility with earlier device versions. For more information, see CAB Wizard.

shortcut_type_flag

Numeric value.

Zero or empty represents a shortcut to a file.

Any nonzero numeric value represents a shortcut to a folder.

target_file/path

String value that specifies the destination file or folder.

For a file, use the target file name — for example, MyApp.exe — that must be defined in a file copy list.

For a path, use a file_list_section name defined in the [DestinationDirs] section — for example, DefaultDestDir — or the %InstallDir% string.

Note:
Use only Unicode characters that can be converted into ANSI characters without data loss. This enables backward compatibility with earlier device versions. For more information, see CAB Wizard.

standard_destination_path

Optional string value that specifies where the shortcut file is created, using a standard %CEx% path or %InstallDir%.

If no value is specified, the default value that is used is the destination directory listed for the shortcut_list_sectionfrom the [DestinationDirs] section.

The following code example shows two methods of creating shortcuts:

	Copy Code
[DefaultInstall] CEShortcuts = Shortcuts [DestinationDirs] Shortcuts = 0,%CE2%\Help [Shortcuts] Sample App,0,Sample.exe,%InstallDir% App Help Link,0,AppHelp.htm

In this example, the first method directly specifies a path for an application called Sample.exe, while the second method uses a [Shortcuts] section that uses the path specified in [DestinationDirs] to specify a path for a Help file named AppHelp.htm.
