Need Help Making a .BAT File

HI

I want to make a BAt file that creates a certain shortcut and then moves it into a certain folder (NOTE Moves it NOT COPIES IT)

Any idea on how to do this ???

(i know how to produce a Batch file i just cant figure out what commands to do for this one)

Thanks

 

I dont think its possible to create a shortcut with a batch file. Since a shortcut is for use in a GUI environment it does not have much place in the command line world.

As for moving a file you cant just move it. You have to copy the file to the desired location and then delete the original.

eg.

copy filename.txt c:\newfolder\newfile.txt
del filename.txt

this will have the same effect as moving it.

You can however launch a shortcut from an msdos window. The command is:
start myfolder.lnk

 

Sagem if i wanted to copy a file to another location and not delete the original one, i just wouldnt use the del file.txt command right?

 

matrixtna sorry about the delay i forgot about this post.
Yes all you have to do is leave out the del filename bit.

Hope this helps
