We use win32com for our shortcut creation as well. One thin I noticed that is different in you code compared to ours is that we pass true as the second parameter to persist_file.Save
To be more helpful I think we would need to know where your code is dying, and what error messages you are getting. -----Original Message----- From: Markus Gritsch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 9:11 AM To: comtypes-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [comtypes-users] Creating Shell Links using comtypes Hi, I would like to create shell links (.lnk) from my Python program. I found the following solution at [1] which uses win32com: import os, sys import pythoncom from win32com.shell import shell, shellcon shortcut = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance ( shell.CLSID_ShellLink, None, pythoncom.CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, shell.IID_IShellLink ) shortcut.SetPath (sys.executable) shortcut.SetDescription ("Python %s" % sys.version) shortcut.SetIconLocation (sys.executable, 0) desktop_path = shell.SHGetFolderPath (0, shellcon.CSIDL_DESKTOP, 0, 0) persist_file = shortcut.QueryInterface (pythoncom.IID_IPersistFile) persist_file.Save (os.path.join (desktop_path, "python.lnk"), 0) I was trying to translate this to comtypes, but had absolutely no success. It would be very nice, if someone could give me any advice how to do this using comtypes.
