Buenos días. No se si publicar esta solicitud aquí o en el foro libre (o tal vez en Software).

Yo lo veo más relacionado con aspectos relacionados con Windows, pero muévanlo donde prefieran.

El caso es que tengo la necesidad de encontrar algún software que se distribuya en forma de instalador, y que al momento de instalar dicho software se genere un acceso directo como el de la siguiente imagen, donde no se permite la modificación de la propiedad "Destino":



(lo siento por el idioma de la imagen XD)

Esa restricción a la hora de modificar el destino, se debe a que el acceso directo fue creado usando un identificador especial del sistema en lugar de haber utilizado una cadena de texto convencional ( más info: learn.microsoft.com - Item IDs ), y al parecer Windows deshabilita la caja de texto de la propiedad "Destino" para ese tipo de links que fueron creados de tal forma.

Bueno, pues no se me ocurre donde puedo encontrar y descargar un software / instalador que genere ese tipo de archivo de acceso directo (*.lnk). Me da igual si el programa es gratuito o de pago, es simplemente que me permita instalarlo y me genere ese archivo link para cuestiones de prueba en un entorno de programación.

---

Es evidente, por la imagen que he compartido, que el Microsoft Word al parecer genera ese tipo de archivo link, pero a mi me han pasado una ISO del Office 2016 de 2 GB, y a mi no me genera ese link. Quizás no estoy usando la ISO correcta.

Tengo conocimiento de que el emulador de video juegos por nombre "Yuzu", o tal vez era otro por nombre "Citra", creaban este tipo de archivo link, pero para mi mala suerte justo ayer cerraron sus sitios web (debido a una demanda por parte de la compañía Nintendo) y el instalador ya no funciona por que requiere acceso online.

Ahora no recuerdo otro programa que genere ese tipo de acceso directo. Se supone que hay aplicación de la Microsoft Store que cuando se instalan generan ese tipo de link, pero yo tengo la Microsoft Store capada de mi instalación de Windows. También se supone que hay video juegos que generan ese tipo de link en la carpeta integrada "Juegos" del menú inicio, pero esto también lo tengo parcialmente capado y de todas formas no se si habrá algún juego gratuito con el que probar a ver.

Gracias con antelación.

El siguiente script desarrollado en PowerShell y dependiente del programa de terceros SetACL (https://helgeklein.com/download/#), sirve para adquirir propiedad absoluta sobre todas las claves de registro del sistema, lo que puede servir en algunos escenarios de prueba (generalmente en máquinas virtuales), o de infecciones por malware.

UTILIZAR ESTE SCRIPT BAJO SU PROPIA RESPONSABILIDAD, Y BAJO UNA CUENTA DE ADMINISTRADOR.

MODIFICAR LOS PERMISOS DE ALGUNAS CLAVES DEL REGISTRO DE WINDOWS PUEDE CONLLEVAR CONSECUENCIAS IMPREVISTAS QUE PROVOQUEN UN MALFUNCIONAMIENTO DEL SISTEMA OPERATIVO E IMPIDAN INICIAR SESIÓN DE USUARIO.

NO ME HAGO RESPONSABLE DE NADA.

El siguiente script desarrollado en Powershell, buscará archivos de paquetes AppX (*.appx, *.appxbundle, *.msixbundle) dentro del directorio actual (sin recursividad), imprimirá información sobre el paquete, imprimirá un mensaje en caso de que el paquete ya esté instalado, e instalará el paquete en caso de que no esté instalado, manejando posibles errores durante instalación.

Es una herramienta muy útil en particular para quien (como yo) tenga completamente capada la Microsoft Store y sus funcionalidades en el sistema operativo, y necesite una forma de poder instalar paquetes de aplicaciones (*.appx, *.appxbundle, *.msixbundle) descargadas de forma local desde la Microsoft Store.

El siguiente script desarrollado en Powershell sirve para realizar un tipo de limpieza que CCleaner y limpiadores especializados del registro (como por ejemplo Wise Registry Cleaner) no pueden llevar a cabo:

Limpiar todo rastro, en el registro de Windows, de entradas a instaladores MSI que no se encuentren presentes en el sistema o que simplemente den conflictos pos fallas de instalación o desinstalación.

Es magia pura para solucionar cierto tipo de problemas relacionados con entradas de registro de paquetes MSI huérfanos.

.SYNOPSIS
Removes Windows Installer product registrtation for missing or specified MSIs
.DESCRIPTION
If Windows Installer product registration is corrupt (exit code 1610) or package
sources are missing (exit code 1603, error message 1714; or exit code 1612),
you can use this script in an elevated PowerShell command shell to clean up the
registration is a transactional manner to avoid making machine state worse.
Please note that this should be a last resort and only for those issues above.
The old msizap.exe program was frought with issues and can make matters worse
if not used properly.
.PARAMETER ProductCode
Optional list of ProductCode to clean up; otherwise, ProductCodes are scanned
from products with missing sources.
.EXAMPLE
PS> Unregister-MissingMSIs.ps1
Removes per-machine product registration for products with missing cached MSIs.
.EXAMPLE
PS> Unregister-MissingMSIs.ps1 '{7B88D6BB-A664-4E5A-AB81-C435C8639A4D}'
Remove per-machine product registration for the specified ProductCode only.

El siguiente script desarrollado en PowerShell y dependiente del programa de terceros IrfanView, sirve para hacer un recorte (crop) específico en los archivos de imagen del directorio actual.

En la sección "Variables" dentro del script pueden personalizar los puntos de recorte (x, y, width, height), así como la calidad de codificación para archivos JPG entre otras cosas configurables.

El siguiente Batch-script tiene la función de eliminar los archivos de cache de sombreadores de texturas generados por las tarjetas/drivers de nVidia, lo que puede solucionar fallas o errores gráficos en algunos video juegos, o simplemente lo pueden utilizar para eliminar un poco de espacio usado cuando sea necesario (a veces pueden haber gigabytes de datos de cache de shaders).

Funciona para los que tengan instalados drivers recientes, y drivers no tan recientes.

El siguiente script desarrollado en PowerShell sirve para truncar el tamaño, a cero bytes, de los archivos log (*.log) dentro del directorio actual y subdirectorios. También se puede usar desde el directorio raiz "C:\", por ejemplo.

Es simplemente una herramienta de limpieza ocasional.

En herramientas de limpieza como CCleaner se puede especificar una regla para buscar y eliminar archivos log, sin embargo, si el archivo está en uso, este tipo de herramientas no lo podrá eliminar. En cambio, la metodología empleada en este script se beneficiará de cualquier archivo en uso que comparta permisos de escritura para poder borrar su contenido sin llegar a eliminar el archivo en simismo.
