create desktop shortcut for project

[unitycoder]

from thread: https://forum.unity.com/threads/why-isnt-there-an-inbuilt-way-to-generate-a-desktop-launching-unity-project-shortcut.989498/

could be useful, if working in same project for a long time, or even more important, then your project(s) wont get lost after 40 recent projects clears it!

todo

• [ ] add setting for "display create shortcut menu item" (because its not commonly used, clutters context menu)
• [x] add context menu for "create desktop shortcut" in recent projects grid
• [x] create desktop shortcut, BUT need to launch using unitylauncherpro.exe, so detect correct unity version (cannot make shortcut using current unity editor version for the project)
• [x] add setting for shortcut folder location (to save .bat files), default to %appdata%/unitylauncherpro/

aha, not as easy as it seems: regular shortcut cannot have arguments https://stackoverflow.com/a/4897700/5452781 , other method requires IWshRuntimeLibrary https://stackoverflow.com/a/4909475/5452781

other options:

• .bat file into desktop
• .bat file into separate folder, then .lnk into that .bat file (so that can change the desktop link icon)

*works, but if you then delete shortcut alone, .bat file is left on your pc..
