Hi,
I've had this niggling issue from time to time. I want to create a
shortcut on the user's desktop to a website that specifically loads
Firefox even if Firefox is not the default browser.
I usually use COM as it allows very specific settings of the shortcut,
such as the Working Directory and the Target Path. However, the
following will not work for some reason:
<code>
import win32com.client
import winshell
shell = win32com.client.Dispatch('WScript.Shell')
userDesktop = winshell.desktop()
shortcut = shell.CreateShortCut(userDesktop + '\\MyShortcut.lnk')
shortcut.Targetpath = r'"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
https:\www.myCompanyWebsite.com\
<http://www.myCompanyWebsite.com%5C>auth\preauth.php'
shortcut.WorkingDirectory = r'C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox'
shortcut.save()
</code>
This creates the following target path (which doesn't work for
obvious reasons) in the shortcut's Target Path. The extra "C:\" is
getting in there somehow...
"C:\"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" https:
\www.myCompanyWebsite.com\
<http://www.myCompanyWebsite.com%5C>auth\preauth.php"
If I leave the website off the TargetPath, it works. If I take the
path to Firefox
out of the TargetPath, it works too. Is there another method I can
use other than
creating the shortcut by hand and using the shutil module?
Thank you for any ideas.
Mike
I think you need to put the URL in shortcut.Arguments rather than
appending it to the executable path.

Someone on c.l.py pointed this out too. I was unaware that that existed.
It works great though. Thanks a lot!
