For only Win2k or + you can:

DECLARE INTEGER CreateShellLink IN LNKFILES.DLL;
STRING @lpzLinkFileName, STRING @lpzExeFileName


oShell = CREATEOBJECT("WScript.Shell")
oFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
cwdesktopfolder = oShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")


lnErrorCode = CreateShellLink(cwdesktopfolder+"\My Shortcut.lnk","c:\myfolder\myapp.exe")
