Description

Syntax:: object.Description

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.

Examples

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

Explanation:

This 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..
