I've written a SETUP program for my application in VFP. Works great except for one thing. I need to create an .LNK file based on where the user has installed the application. How can I do that in VFP? Or more precisely, what APIs do I call (and how?) to do this?

Which leads me to another question. Where do I get information on WIN32 APIs? Is there a ...CHM file somewhere? I'm using WIN2000 at the moment.

I found something at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/books/win95ui/chpt09-04.htm It's a little program in C++ to create .LNK files. But it uses CoCreateInstance (CLSID_ShellLink,...) and I haven't the foggiest notion how to call that from VFP. And I don't even know where to look!
