[manavo11]

Or maybe this :

'Source: MSDN column 'Ask Dr. GUI'
Private Declare Function fCreateShellLink Lib "vb6stkit.dll" (ByVal lpstrFolderName As String, ByVal lpstrLinkName As String, ByVal lpstrLinkPath As String, ByVal lpstrLinkArguments As String, ByVal fPrivate As Long, ByVal sParent As String) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim strGroupName As String, strLinkName As String
    Dim strLinkPath As String, strLinkArguments As String
    Dim fPrivate As Boolean, sParent As String
    Dim fSuccess As Boolean
    strLinkName = "Shortcut to Calculator"
    strLinkPath = "c:\Windows\calc.exe"
    strLinkArguments = ""
    fPrivate = True                              ' Add shortcut to desktop.
    strGroupName = "..\..\Desktop"
    sParent = "$(Programs)"
    fSuccess = fCreateShellLink(strGroupName & vbNullChar, strLinkName, strLinkPath, strLinkArguments & vbNullChar, fPrivate, sParent)
    'the path should never be enclosed in double quotes
    If fSuccess Then
        MsgBox "Created desktop shortcut"
    Else
        MsgBox "Unable to create desktop shortcut"
    End If
    ' Add shortcut to Programs menu.
    strGroupName = "$(Programs)"
    sParent = "$(Programs)"
    fSuccess = fCreateShellLink(strGroupName & vbNullChar, strLinkName, strLinkPath, strLinkArguments & vbNullChar, fPrivate, sParent)
    'the path should never be enclosed in double quotes
    If fSuccess Then
        MsgBox "Created shortcut on Programs menu"
    Else
        MsgBox "Unable to create shortcut on Programs menu"
    End If
    ' Add shortcut to Startup folder of Programs menu.
    strGroupName = "Startup"
    sParent = "$(Programs)"
    fSuccess = fCreateShellLink(strGroupName & vbNullChar, strLinkName, strLinkPath, strLinkArguments & vbNullChar, fPrivate, sParent)
    'the path should never be enclosed in double quotes
    If fSuccess Then
        MsgBox "Created shortcut in Startup folder"
    Else
        MsgBox "Unable to create shortcut in Startup folder"
    End If
End Sub
