Creating application shortcuts
In Windows Mobile you can create shortcuts to
files and application just as like you do on desktop. Connect the
device to the desktop over ActiveSync, explore the Mobile Device folder, right-click on the file you want to create shortcut for and then Click on Create Shortcut menu item.
But there are differences in formats of shortcut files between Windows Mobile and Windows Desktop. A typical shortcut on a Windows Mobile device will have the following format
xx#"\Location\application.exe"
where xx is number of characters in the above text excluding xx#, optionally it can also contain parameters.
For e.g. I created a shortcut to internet explorer, copied the shortcut file to desktop over activesync and opened it in notepad. This is what I see.
23#"\Windows\iexplore.exe"
where 23 is the count of characters after #.
Follow this format and you can manually or programmatically create shortcuts for Windows Mobile.
