			Property: WshShortcut.Description object.Arguments The Description property sets or retrieves a String description of the shortcut. Under Windows 2000, this property corresponds to the "Comment" field that can be set when the properties of a Shortcut are viewed. Under Windows 2000, the value of this property is also displayed in a tool-tip when the mouse is held over the shortcut icon. The following VBScript code sets the Description for a shortcut called "Test.vbs.lnk", saves the change back to disk, and then displays the modified description value.. Code: Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set objShtCut = objShell.CreateShortcut("C:\Test.vbs.lnk") objShtCut.Description = "Hello World" objShtCut.Save WScript.Echo objShtCut.Description Output: Hello World
