SOLVED: ShortcutSync - ignore file type
« on: April 07, 2010, 03:34 AM »
There is this really useful utility -- ShortcutSync -- but there is one thing I can't figure out and I hope someone could help me with. How do I specify "any" file type?  The instructions show that extension specification must be used to specify the file types to make links to.  How could I specify "any" file?

I have many different file types and would like to create shortcuts for any file, regardless of the file type. I have tried leaving file type parameter out completely, I've tried using asterisk, and also tried standard *.* but it didn't work.

Is there any way to do this?

Thank you in advance!

Here you go:  ShortcutSyncMod

Use a * to match all file types.
