如何在.NET / C#中以编程方式为我的应用程序创建快捷方式(.lnk)添加快捷方式(.lnk)

标签: c# .net windows-vista installer uac

我的应用程序将拥有每台计算机(不是每个用户)的启动快捷方式。我可以在安装过程中创建快捷方式没问题。当用户稍后删除它然后尝试重新启用时,我的问题就来了。换句话说,他们会关闭RunOnStartup(删除Startup墨水),稍后他们会决定是否希望它在启动时运行,以便返回首选项并重新启用。

显然,这是一个非常普遍的抱怨.NET,没有一种本地方法来创建快捷方式。但是,还没有找到一个很好的解决方案。

我发现/考虑的解决方案:

  • 而不是创建快捷方式。只需复制一份。这可能是一个很好的解决方案。我不能依赖于有一个开始菜单链接。但是,我想我可以创建一个并将其保存在程序目录中......这会将问题转移到我的安装程序,以便必须使用在安装时指定的相应路径创建快捷方式。

  • 执行this other stackoverflow answer并使用COM包装器对象。我想避免COM。它也写于2003年。所以,我不确定它将如何支持vista。我会试一试,但没有方便的远景盒。

  • 请改用注册表。这就是我目前的做法......但是在Vista上遇到了问题。似乎普遍的共识是,启动菜单快捷方式是正确的方法,这就是我的目标。

另外,我必须处理普通用户(不是管理员)尝试更改此首选项的情况。在这种情况下,我需要优雅地失败,或者在vista的情况下允许用户输入管理员密码以获得管理员安全令牌。已经适当考虑这个案例的答案将是非常棒的。

如果已涵盖此主题,我道歉。我在发帖前四处搜寻。

更新:复制安装程序创建的快捷方式是最佳解决方案。我将发布代码一旦完成...遇到一些障碍与a)Environment.GetSpecialFolder没有引用已解决的StartMenu ...但是,现在我正在处理提升权限将文件复制到适当的位置。我为此主题创建了一个新的stackoverflow问题:How can I copy a file as a "Standard User" in Vista (ie "An Administrative Choice Application") by prompting user for admin credentials?

正如Joel所建议的,正确的解决方案是在安装时在程序文件文件夹中安装快捷方式,然后将.lnk复制到启动文件夹。尝试创建快捷方式更加困难。

以下代码执行以下操作:

  • 它为您获取所有用户启动文件夹的路径。 Environment.GetSpecialFolder相当有限,没有对此文件夹的引用,因此您需要进行系统调用。
  • 具有复制和删除快捷方式的方法。

最终,我还想确保在vista上优雅地处理它,如果运行应用程序的用户是普通用户,他们将被提示输入他们的凭据。我在这里创建了一篇关于这个主题的帖子,所以如果这对你很重要,请在这里查看。 How can I copy a file as a "Standard User" in Vista (ie "An Administrative Choice Application") by prompting user for admin credentials?

在我编写此解决方案时,我想到了一种处理问题的更好方法,该方法不需要用户升级权限以禁用启动时运行。 我的解决方案是在程序加载时检查一个名为RunOnStartup的用户范围设置。要在系统加载或登录时检测应用程序是否正在启动,我在快捷方式中添加了一个参数,该参数将添加到所有用户 - &gt;启动文件夹称为快捷方式。

        // Quit the application if the per user setting for RunOnStartup is false.
            if (args != null && args.Length > 0 && args[0].Contains("startup"))
            {
                if (Settings1.Default.RunOnStartup == false)
                {
                    Application.Exit();
                }
            }

您可以在其程序文件文件夹中安装应用程序的快捷方式,然后根据需要复制该.lnk文件。

            string shortcutto = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;

            var wsh = new IWshShell_Class();
            IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut shortcut = wsh.CreateShortcut(desktopPath) as IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut;
            shortcut.TargetPath = shortcutto;
