How can I create a "Jupyter Lab" shortcut like you get when installing anaconda?

[kienerj]

This is for Windows. As title says. When installing anaconda, I get a nice shortcut that launches jupyter. I tried to "emulate" it by creating it myself with mambaforge but it doesn't work (as a windows opens but closes again immediately, no error visible).

This is the content of the shortcut (the "Target field"):

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\mambaforge\python.exe %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\mambaforge\cwp.py %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\mambaforge %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\mambaforge\python.exe %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\mambaforge\Scripts\jupyter-lab-script.py "E:\notebooks"

Shortcuts are created using menuinst. Read here:

Miniforge's shortcut is provided by the miniforge_console_shortcut.

Found the solution on stackoverflow (not all solution sin that treahd actually work for mambaforge)

%windir%\System32\cmd.exe "/K" %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\mambaforge\Scripts\activate.bat base & jupyter lab && exit

of course one needs to adjust to the correct path and environment (I like to have base env run jupyter but notebooks using a different kernel (different env).
