 Subject: Is there a command for creating shortcuts on the desktop?
 
 
 I've been doing things like creating template files, finding where
 Cygwin is installed via Cygpath, and modifying the template with sed
 and copying it to the appropriate user desktop directory.
 
 I don't suppose there's an existing command for doing this?

Is there a command for creating shortcuts on the desktop?

I've been doing things like creating template files, finding where
Cygwin is installed via Cygpath, and modifying the template with sed
and copying it to the appropriate user desktop directory.

I don't suppose there's an existing command for doing this?
