how to create shorcut in vb?

Steps for Creating a Shell Link (Shortcut) to the Desktop
Start a new project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.

Add a Command button (Command1) to Form1.

Add the following code to the General Declarations section of Form1:

Option Explicit

'NOTE: In Visual Basic 5.0, change Stkit432.dll in the following
'statement to Vb5stkit.dll.

Private Declare Function fCreateShellLink Lib "STKIT432.DLL" (ByVal _
lpstrFolderName As String, ByVal lpstrLinkName As String, ByVal _
lpstrLinkPath As String, ByVal lpstrLinkArgs As String) As Long

Sub Command1_Click()

Dim lReturn As Long

'Add to Desktop
lReturn = fCreateShellLink("..\..\Desktop", _
"Shortcut to Calculator", "c:\Winnt\system32\calc.exe", "")

'Add to Program Menu Group
lReturn = fCreateShellLink("", "Shortcut to Calculator", _
"c:\Winnt\system32\calc.exe", "")

'Add to Startup Group

'Note that on Windows NT, the shortcut will not actually appear
'in the Startup group until your next reboot.
lReturn = fCreateShellLink("\Startup", "Shortcut to Calculator", _
"c:\Winnt\system32\calc.exe", "")

End Sub

Press the F5 key to run the project, and then click the Command button.

Cheers
