[ansible-project] Re: "Start in" field for win_shortcut

[lpescatore via Ansible Project]

Hi Jon, 
The idea is to put a .py script into the shell:startup folder. 
So, I create a shortcut. 

<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5Y2JWDlIgfY/Wlo9FdeWgGI/AAAAAAAAAPU/q9iXgwDvXyotVafklcE1bGOTuAeesj40ACLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-01-12%2Bat%2B1.37.55%2BPM.png>
When I manually create the shortcut, it looks like the attachment. 

When I run this play instead of doing it manually, the "Start In" field is 
not populated, but everything else is fine.
We can run jobs when that field is populated, but when it's not it does not 
run the job. Thus, the start in field must be populated. 

I couldn't find a var that worked, I tried args and everything else in the 
documentation.

- name: Create shortcut to Launch Server.py in startup
  win_shortcut:
    src: C:\cygwin\home\YRunner\launch_server.py
    dest: C:\Users\YRunner\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start 
Menu\Programs\Startup\launch_server.py.lnk

I think an alternative might be using a .sh script triggered by a batch 
file, but I don't know the syntax and it would be nice to let ansible do it 
as it should.
