Hello Lee,

In order to achieve what you want, we will firstly need to know the path to the executable.

For instance, let's consider I have an executable in the following location (similar to yours):

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Techinline\Remote Desktop\sample.exe

If i want to create an external shortcut to that, the "Shortcut Target" would look something as it follows:

For more information about the [ProgramFiles] property, please refer to the following article:

Paths of the folders in the "Files and Folders" Page

Hope this helps!
