Create/Edit Win32 Shortcuts?

[waldekO]

What I used to do is to create Shell object using COM package and utilize
its methods to do the job.
for example:
from win32com.client import Dispatch
>>> shell = Dispatch('WScript.Shell')
>>> lnk = shell.CreateShortcut('c:\\windows\\desktop\calc.lnk')
>>> lnk.TargetPath = 'c:\\windows\\calc.exe'
>>> lnk.Save()
For details of all parameters refer to Microsoft Windows Scripting Host
documentation.
