Re: [comtypes-users] Creating Shell Links using comtypes
Hi, just to let you know: I gave up on creating .lnk files using comtypes and instead use .url files with a local address. For my application placing such a file in the Windows startup folder they works just fine, and have the huge advantage of being simple text files.

I don't believe IShellLink uses Dispatch/automation objects, so you will
have to import the tlb information
Microsoft supplies the idl and h file in shobjidl.idl and shobjidl.h
You can use midl to create a tlb from it. Then you should be able to
load the tlb into comtypes.
Thank you for your directions. I used
midl ShObjIdl.idl
to generate the ShObjIdl.tlb file. But when I try to load it with
comtypes using
from comtypes.client import GetModule
GetModule('ShObjIdl.tlb')
I get the following output:

[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.
