Thanks.  It works to create the shortcut, but not with the description I give it.  Here is my example

shortcut.pl --description "Excel" "c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\excel.exe" special:AllUsersDesktop
 
Instead of the shortcut using a large E it usese a little one.  The syntax appears correct but does not work.  Is this a bug or something I am doing incorrectly. 
 
P.S.  It does not appear to make any difference if I use quotes around the special:AllUsersDesktop part.
 
Thank you!

Hi, you don't need to use shortcut.pl with todo.pl. For example:

:: OPTIONAL: Install Charred Dirt
@Echo off
echo Installing
todo.pl "timeit %0"
shortcut.pl "c:\games\CDirt\cdirt.exe" "special:AllUsersDesktop\Charred Dirt"
shortcut.pl "c:\games\CDirt\cdirt.exe"
"special:AllUsersStartMenu\Programs\Charred Dirt"
todo.pl %Z%\packages\misc\cdirt_099c.exe
todo.pl "timeit %0"
