Shortcut Creator

Regardless of whether you are building a new website or you are involved in a project that entails using several URLs regularly, one way to simplify your work is to create a shortcut with the link for quick access.

Shortcut Creator is a small piece of software that enables you to create INK shortcuts with the web addresses you need to access on a regular basis from any location on your computer.

The setup is as simple as it gets, especially since it entails decompressing the archive and no further configuring. The utility comes with a bare-bones interface that consists of two fields where you can introduce the name and path as well as a Create Shortcut button.

It can be argued that the GUI could use a settings window or, at least, some options that enable you to specify the file extension or other parameters. You should know that the app creates shortcuts without the need to validate them, so you can edit this element later on. On the other hand, it would have been useful if you could set or change the icon so that you can identify it faster.

Granted, if you would like to create a quick shortcut to a website, you can just drag and drop the icon of the address on the desktop or anywhere else you prefer on your computer. However, let us not forget that this technique does not work with web addresses that are not valid.

This is where this tool comes in handy, as it permits you to create a shortcut for a URL that has not been launched yet. Since the app allows you to create shortcuts without validating the path or address, it means that it can also be helpful when you want to create a quick access button for folders on your computer.

Consequentially, once you are done tweaking your website and uploaded it, you can just access the file's properties and insert the full address in the dedicated field.

If you are looking for a quick and straightforward solution that allows you to create shortcut links to URLs you access regularly, then Shortcut Creator might come in handy.
