I'm not sure why you would want to do that. Anyway, here is a basic code to rename desctop shortcut.

oShell = CREATEOBJECT("wscript.shell")
oFSO = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
cDesktop = ADDBS(oShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop"))
DIMENSION laList[1]
ADIR(laList, cDesktop + "My Application*.lnk")
oFile = oFSO.Getfile(cDesktop + laList[1,1])
oFile.Name = "My Application V-3-5-4.lnk"
