My preference is to use the Windows Scripting Host's Wscript.Shell object, which has a CreateShortcut method that gives full access to the API, as well as providing a great deal of additional functionality.

I'd agree for people who don't have the WSH available, it's the best alternative - if you have WSH, then there's no advantage to using the .DLL over using Wscript.Shell's CreateShortcut method, in view of other functionality given by Wscript.Shell.
