Sorry, missed this one going through. Looks like Roger's hit the nail on the head, though. Bizarre behaviour by the IShellLink interface: I can't find any kind of reference to this but I assume that since the Path attribute of the link should *only* contain an executable, there's no need for the quotes -- which then confuse it when they're there as it tries to make the executable into an absolute path.
One small comment, Mike. Since you're using the winshell module -- which I assume is the one from my site -- why not use its CreateShortcut function? It's basically just a light wrapper around the IShellLink functionality which someone else mentioned: <code> import os, sys import winshell winshell.CreateShortcut ( Path=os.path.join (winshell.desktop (), "shortcut.lnk"), Target=r"c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", Arguments="http://localhost";, Description="Open http://localhost with Firefox" ) </code> But maybe you're using the WScript.Shell functionality elsewhere as well?
