>Does anyone know how to go about changing Windows desktop shortcut properties programatically?

oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
* Get desktop folder
lcDesktop = oShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
lcShortcutName = "whatever.lnk"
* Create shortcut if it doesn't exists or open existing one
oLink = oShell.CreateShortcut ( ADDBS(lcDesktop) + lcShortcutName )
* Set/Change properties here
....
oLink.Save()
