Yes x 3.

LOCAL loShell AS WScript.Shell
LOCAL loShortcut

m.loShell = CREATEOBJECT("WScript.Shell")

* edit a desktop shortcut
m.loShortcut = m.loShell.CreateShortcut(GETFILE("lnk"))

* change its description
m.loShortcut.Description = "A new description"

* and set its icon
m.loShortcut.IconLocation = GETFILE("ico") + ",0"

* done
m.loShortcut.Save()
