Hi Bob;

Helped by George (and Franco) I found this one, that can do what you want:

(With WSH only)

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

lnk              = oShell.CreateShortcut(cwdesktopfolder + "\Shortcut to my application.lnk")
lnk.TargetPath   = "c:\myfolder\myapp.exe"
lnk.WindowStyle  = 1
lnk.Hotkey       = "CTRL+SHIFT+F"
lnk.IconLocation = "c:\myfolder\myapp.exe, 0"
lnk.Description  = "Shortcut to my application"
lnk.WorkingDirectory = "c:\myfolder"
lnk.Save
