>I wonder if there is any way to create shortcuts and folders within VFP3? The problem I have is my program usually installs on a network server and then I need to install the workstation? Can I create a shortcut in the Workstation when he starts VFP for the first time?

In addition to George's recommendation of using the IShellLink interface via a .DLL, there is also a program SHORTCUT.EXE that will create/modify shortcuts based on command line parameters available at Microsoft's Web site.
