launch.Make Shortcuts To AnythingYou can not only make shortcuts to Python programs, but you can make
shortcuts to EXE and other files.  The GUI is self-explanatory.  Fill

shortcut in the same folder as the target program.Important Note - Pinning To Taskbar Requires "Python Command"If you wish to pin your shortcut to the taskbar, then be sure to fill
in the "Python Command" field with the full path to your pythonw.exe
file.  Without it you'll get "IDLE" as the program that's pinned.  You
can skip filling in this field if you're going to place the shortcut
on your desktop or other location.License & CopyrightCopyright 2023-2024 PySimpleSoft, Inc. and/or its licensors.This is a free-to-use "Utility" and is licensed under the
