I would like to create a shortcut, the target of which does not exist (yet). However, as soon as I try to create it, Windows raises an error saying the specified target does not exist.
While I understand why Windows raises this error, I would like to know if there is a way to bypass it.
My file will be located on D:\MyScript.exe
, so creating a fake file with this name will not work, since the character \
is forbidden for Windows filenames.
