Re: Can't create shortcut whose name contains Unicode?

Thanks for the reply but it didn't help.

var oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut( path+ "\\Some Asian
characters.lnk");
...
ShellLink.Save();

I created a simple wsf script using NotePad. I even saved it in UTF-8
encoding. But the code above fails because the scripting engine cannot
understand the Asian characters.

Error : Unable to save shortcut ".....??????.lnk".
Code 8007007B

Is there any way to create a shortcut in Unicode using WSH? If it is
impossible, please tell me also, then I can start finding another way.

You stated that this is a wsf (and not a vbs) script correct? If so, did
you specify the coding in your opening xml tag? Something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

.
