Mapping special folders, such as the My Documents desktop folder, requires the use of the Shell object. The following scripts demonstrate the use of the Shell object to create a shortcut to a folder on the desktop.

// JScript. var Shell, DesktopPath, URL; Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); DesktopPath = Shell.SpecialFolders("Desktop"); URL = Shell.CreateShortcut(DesktopPath + "\\MSDN Scripting.url"); URL.TargetPath = "HTTP://MSDN.Microsoft.com/scripting/"; URL.Save(); ' VBScript. Dim Shell, DesktopPath, URL Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") DesktopPath = Shell.SpecialFolders("Desktop") Set URL = Shell.CreateShortcut(DesktopPath & "\MSDN Scripting.URL") URL.TargetPath = "HTTP://MSDN.Microsoft.com/scripting/" URL.Save |
