Is there a way to modify a shortcut file's TARGET through VB code?

Here is the scenario, each of my users has a shortcut, this shortcut triggers one of my Access applications. Within the shortcut property, I manually added the location of my Access program, workgroup file, user name and password. This way the user doesn't need to log on manually to the my program.

I am done with our annual changes for this program and I am ready to implement it. There are about 40 users using it. I was thinking create a small executable file in VB so once the user run the executable, it will copy the new access program file from our server to their local hard drives. However, I was hoping to change their existing shortcut property as well, Is there a way I could do this? Thanks!

Bet there is an API for it - Ask Yonatan...

Seriously, I think there is an API call to do it - there is a list at http://vbapi.com/ref/funca.html

Thanks for the link. I think I can work something out with the ShiellLink program.
