📎 AI Summary:
The user is asking how to ensure a shortcut always points to the most recent .stl file generated by a program, as the current shortcut does not update automatically. The responder suggests that since the file may change name or location each time, creating a new shortcut each time would be necessary to access the latest file. The overall discussion centers on managing dynamic file access, with an implied solution of updating or recreating shortcuts for updated data.

Every time I run a program it produces a .stl file. This file is automatically saved to the computers local disk. I want this file to be accessible on my network, so I created a shortcut. However, the shortcut does not overwrite every time I run the program. How can I get the shortcut to overwrite so it gets new data every time I run the program?

It's probably not the same file every time therefore the shortcut becomes invalid. You'd have to create a new shortcut.
