If you want to create a shortcut programatically use the code below. Found somewhere on net

'Create a Desktop ShortCut

set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")

set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop & "\Shortcut To Notepad.lnk")

oShellLink.TargetPath = "Notepad.exe" 'WScript.ScriptFullName

oShellLink.WindowStyle = 1

oShellLink.Hotkey = "CTRL+SHIFT+N"

oShellLink.IconLocation = "notepad.exe, 0"

oShellLink.Description = "Shortcut To Notepad."

oShellLink.WorkingDirectory = strDesktop

oShellLink.Save
