Win32_ShortcutAction - The CreateShortcuts action manages the creation of shortcuts. In the Advertise mode, the action creates shortcuts to the key files of components of features that are enabled. Advertised shortcuts are those for which the Target property is the feature of the component and the directory of the shortcut is one of the Shell folders or below one. Advertised shortcuts are created with a Microsoft installer technology Descriptor as the target. Non-advertised shortcuts are those for which the Target column in the Shortcut class is a property or the directory of the shortcut is not one of the Shell folders or below one. Advertised shortcuts are created with a Microsoft installer technology Descriptor as the target. In the non-advertise mode (normal install) the action creates shortcuts to the key files of components of features that are selected for install as well as non-advertised shortcuts whose component is selected for install.
