Question:

How do I move a shortcut from a folder to the desktop?

Answer:

Use ShortcutInfo to get the information from the Shortcut, and then ShortcutMake to create a shortcut using that information.

WinBatch cannot exactly move shortcuts. You can (usually) create a shortcut on the desktop - its just another folder.

The ShortCutDir("Desktop") function will tell you what folder it is. NOTE: The Shell Operation Extenders aFileCopy function can copy shortcut files.
