![]() ![]() As the icon cannot be specified in the entry point, this means that (at this time) the start menu entry for this program will be the icon of the launcher program (which usually doesn’t have an icon in it resulting in a generic icon being displayed).Classic Shell™ is free software that improves your productivity, enhances the usability of Windows and empowers you to use the computer the way you like it. ![]() Using the Package Support Framework (PSF) and adding it to the MSIX package during repackaging allows replacement of the target with a PSF based launcher program that can then include support for configuring the real target executable, command line arguments, and working directory in a json file stored in the package. Additionally, non-exe targets are not supported, however without arguments you can’t work around them like we do for App-V.The target exe will be examined, and if an ICON is present it will be used. There is no specification of the Icon.Furthermore, unlike the lnk file where the working directory will be the folder of the target exe by default, under AppX amd MSIX the Windows System32 folder is the working directory. There is no specification of a working directory.We expect/hope other fields will eventually be supported, but the following restrictions currently exist: The AppX and MSIX form of this modern shortcut (referred to as an entry point) currently only supports the target field. For example, it the target was a cmd file, making the target become cmd.exe and arguments “/c path-to-cmdfile” For those shortcuts, manual manipulation of the shortcut to remove the file association is necessary during repackaging. The App-V form of this modern shortcut includes all of the capabilities described previously for the traditional shortcut lnk files, with the exception of targets that point to non-exe files. During installation of one of these packages, the shortcut element of the AppXManifest file is combined with the current start menu. Currently, the syntax and capabilities of the new shortcut is different depending on the package format. This new style shortcut is used in App-V, AppX, and MSIX packages. The modern shortcut is defined as a shortcut element of the AppXManifest.xml file of the package installer. Starting with Windows 8, files in these locations are referenced, along with newer style shortcuts added by “modern” application formats, and ultimately gathered into a single new file for the user session and displayed by the session explorer process. Prior to Windows 8, the start menu was generated from just these lnk (and other) files from these standard locations. In that case, the shell would use file type associations to display and execute the shortcut. When not specified and the specified file not an exe, the icon associated with the file type is used, or if none a generic icon is used.Īlthough it is rarely done, it is also possible to add files other than lnk files to the folder locations mentioned previously. When not specified, if the specified file is an exe, the first image in the referenced PE file will be used, or if none a generic icon is used. Optional ICON for display of the shortcut. ![]() When not specified the folder of the specified file above is used as the working directory.
