>I'm sure that you could create a project with a main program to call cre8shortcuts function to create your desktop shortcuts. The program would have to be able to supply the appropriate parameters. If you are looking to create shortcuts at install time, most installers already have this functionality built in.

The problem is that I am not using an installer. I have the application in one directory and the datafiles in another directory. Even the runtime files are in teh application directory which also contains the executable. Modifcations that I am doing now would have to deal with more than one directories that have the executable. And all I am looking for is a simple way of creating a desktop shorcut that will link unquely to each of the specifc executables. They would all use the same data direcotry.
