I have read all of the questions about creating a shortcut with PowerShell, but I still cannot find an answer to my question about having switches at the end of the executable. I found the following code here, but I also need to add switches at the end. I need my shortcut to also contain **"/environment code" ** I have tried adding it with a & or a + but they both cause errors.

The answer I found also mentions how to use com objects, but I do not know what they are, or how to use them if I ever have to come back and modify this in the future.

    New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "C:\temp" -Name "Welcome.lnk" -Value "c:\welcome\welcomelauncher.exe"

I am hoping to make it read like this:

Thanks in advance.

I don’t see a + or an &. Probably better to show what exactly you want to end up with – Doug Maurer Feb 19 '21 at 00:49

Symbolic links and shortcuts are different things If you need an argument to your shortcut, look here : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31815286/creating-quoted-path-for-shortcut-with-arguments-in-powershell – Christophe Feb 19 '21 at 02:37
