Why without any of the above?
a) I doubt a C programmer references a vb5stkit
which leads me to believe there must an entry-
point into a REAL system DLL that does that.
b) Depending on what software is installed on
the user computer, accessing the Windows-
Scripting object, displays nasty messages:
Like one from Norton saying your program is a
malicious script and defaults the operation
to "Do Not Allow".

So, how does a cleanly written, professional program create a desktop shortcut?

Thanks.
