Move Shortcuts Project

Helps in organizing the link mess that Choco makes on your Desktop... and more!

Introduction

When using Chocolatey to install or update applications my desktop often gets cluttered with program links. What I want, is to free myself the work to clean up the mess, but also I don't want to lose the links... what to do then?

What this program does is to create a new folder at C:\Shortcuts where it places every shortcut it finds as being clutter to the Desktop. This became so useful because then I added this folder to the PATH environment variable, and made lists of small commands to associate with each one of these programs.

For example, the link "Visual Studio Code" will be sent to the special shortcuts folder when found on the Desktop, but also new links will be created: "code" and "coda". The first open VS Code normally, the second opens it with elevated privileges.
