Hello Michael Habermann,
Not sure if I understood correctly what were you trying to ask, but if you're trying to ask how to make a shortcut without a written name but with an extension you can try to use this, I tried this code and it was working for me. This is the example of making the shortcut for notepad:
$TargetFile = "$env:SystemRoot\System32\notepad.exe"
$FileName = ""
$ShortcutFile = "C:\Users\mbocak1\Desktop\$($FileName).lnk"
$WScriptShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WScriptShell.CreateShortcut($ShortcutFile)
$Shortcut.TargetPath = $TargetFile
$Shortcut.Save()
Sorry if this is not what you were looking for, but if not, can you try explaining again?
Hope this will help!
Cheers!
