Is it possible to use Power Automate to create a working .lnk file with a target to a local folder?

    Hi @eddablin ,

     

    Unfortunately, power automate cannot perform local operations like this.

    In general, desktop flow can simulate the user's local operation.

    Hope it helps.

     

    Best Regards,

    Wearsky

    Thank you for the response. I thought as much. Looking for something totally cloud automated. Have settled for generating batch files instead which is almost as satisfactory.
