Create Folder, Create shortcut(somewhere else)

[patgenn123]

I am scratching my head on this one. How can I create a folder(done) then create a shortcut elsewhere(for example the desktop)

 

The original folder is, for example, in C:\Folders.

 

Summing up:

1) Create folder in C:\Folders

2) Create a shortcut and move it to the desktop.

 

I think this might be easy, but for some reason I lost it today. My brains that is.

 

Thanks!

I'm just now toying around in Vista and I see that this can be accomplished with <Alt>fs. *BUT* only if the folder is highlighted/active. Hopefully you are able to create the folder covertly "behind-the-scenes" which would be much quicker than than using the Windows GUI. THe keyboard trick won't work covertly though....

...ALso I see now that this doesn't address the issue of relocating the shortcut... Have to go.. will think more on this...
