c# - How notepad create shortcut links in recently opened folder -

when open text file using notepad, shortcut file created in recent folder. how notepad internally. tried open text file using

process.start("c:\test.txt"); 

but no shortcut created. other files, image, video , audio, recent file shortcuts being created. using

process.start("c:\summer.jpeg"); 

i tried using commands below.

processstartinfo psi = new processstartinfo(); psi.windowstyle = processwindowstyle.hidden; psi.useshellexecute = true; psi.workingdirectory = environment.getfolderpath(environment.specialfolder.system); psi.filename = system.io.path.combine(environment.getfolderpath(environment.specialfolder.system), "notepad.exe"); psi.arguments = "c:\test.txt";  process.start(psi);
