This package was approved by moderator ferventcoder on 30 Aug 2015.
This package is unlisted and hidden from package listings.
This package uses AutoHotkey to remap the dreadful Windows-console-paste key combination, ALT + Space, E, P, to the more commonly used "paste" shortcut, CTRL + V. It's known to work in the "command prompt" (cmd.exe), PowerShell, Console2, and Git Bash (mingw).

<#
.SYNOPSIS
Install-Shortcut creates a new shortcut to a file or program.
.DESCRIPTION
Install-Shortcut wraps the COM Object, Wscript.Shell, and its arguments to create
a shortcut to a file or program. It requires some very specific input, please
review the notes on each parameter.
.PARAMETER Link
The shortcut to create.
The underlying COM Object requires an absolute path. This function will
attempt to properly expand that path, especially if you provide a
SpecialFolder as a root directory.
The underlying COM Object also requires that the link's path/name end in
either .lnk or .url. This function will attempt to add that file extension if
it is not provided.
The underlying COM Object will fail silently in many cases, especially due to
improperly formatted link paths. This function will test the existence of the
expected link using this parameter and fail if it is not found.
.PARAMETER Target
The target of the shortcut.
This path must exist. This function will attempt to expand the path to its
absolute value.
.PARAMETER SpecialFolder
The Windows special folder to contain this shortcut.
If you want to create a shortcut at one of the system managed paths, such as
the Desktop or the Start Menu, you should use the special tokens provided.
The most commonly used are
* CommonDesktop
* CommonStartup
* CommonPrograms
If you provide a special folder, the Link parameter may contain a simple
"name" and not a file path.
The full list of special folders can be found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.specialfolder(v=vs.110).aspx
.PARAMETER Icon
The icon of the shortcut.
This can take several forms and, due to this, is not validated carefully. You
can provide an absolute file path (this is your responsibility), like
"C:\Windows\notepad.exe"
Or, you can provide an absolute file path and an index into the resources of
that program, like
"C:\Windows\notepad.exe, 1"
.PARAMETER Description
The tooltip to display on the shortcut.
.PARAMETER Launch
Whether to launch this link immediately after creating it. Useful for links
created in the CommonStartup special folder.
.EXAMPLE
Install-Shortcut -Link "foo" -Target "foo.exe" -SpecialFolder "CommonPrograms" -Description "Foo Bar"
.EXAMPLE
Uninstall-Shortcut -Link "foo" -SpecialFolder "CommonDesktop"
