  Creating Desktop Shortcuts Using Visual Basic

I've noticed problems (like crashes etc.) in programs that are relying on different versions of wscript. And wscript is not the kind of thing that one installs or updates on a user's machine.


So I definitely would not want to
rely on WScript for a professional program, which is the kind of program I can see having a need to write a desktop shortcut.


anyway creating url type shortcuts can be done using a text file, don't believe me open notepad and write the following:



[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.oreillynet.com/


save it as oreilly.url and you will have a shortcut.
