Sure it is possible. Is this an finite number of exe's and directories or is it variable? If variable you could store linkname, exename(with path) in a table and process each record in the table passing parameters to cre8shortcuts(). If it is a finite number of shortcuts with all directories for each computer in the same place you can hard code it like the following:

*!* main procedure to create desktop shortcuts
do case 
case !Cre8Shortcut("MyEXE DirectoryA","c:\directoryA\executableA.exe")
  *!* error creating desktop icon for c:\directoryA\executableA.exe
  return .f.
case  !Cre8Shortcut("MyEXE DirectoryB","c:\directoryB\executableB.exe")
  *!* error creating desktop icon for c:\directoryB\executableB.exe
  return .f.
case  !Cre8Shortcut("MyEXE DirectoryC","c:\directoryB\executableC.exe")
  *!* error creating desktop icon for c:\directoryC\executableC.exe
  return .f.

*!* add as many as you like
endcase
