Hi Joe,

You can use my lnkfiles.dll to do this, but you can also use the Windows Script Host (WSH). Here's a sample.

* lcfile is the file the link will point to
* lcname is the name of the shortcut to appear on the desktop
* with the lnk extension
oShell = CREATEOBJECT('WScript.Shell')
lcdesktop = oShell.SpecialFolders('Desktop')
oLink = oShell.CreateShortcut(lcdesktop + "\" + lcname)
oLink.TargetPath = lcfile
oLink.Save
