This is a short python program provided by Mark Hammond (the author of
win32com and friends) in response to a similar question some few weeks
ago.
# MakeShortcut.py
# A demo of how to create a shortcut using Python.
# This code makes a shortcut to sys.argv[0] in the root directory.
from win32com.shell import shell
import pythoncom
def CreateIt(fileName):
# Get the shell interface.
sh = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(shell.CLSID_ShellLink, None, \
pythoncom.CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, shell.IID_IShellLink)
# Get an IPersist interface
persist = sh.QueryInterface(pythoncom.IID_IPersistFile)
# Set the data
sh.SetPath( fileName )
sh.SetDescription("A test link created with Python")
# Save the link itself.
persist.Save("\\PythonTest.lnk", 1)
if __name__=='__main__':
import sys
CreateIt(sys.argv[0])
