Hi,

Some free command line tools for shortcut creation:

Marty List's shortcut.exe

MakeScut

Alternatively, you can use a VBScript to create the shortcut:

A long time ago when I was running Windows 95 I had no problem running a
series of programs which called for a complex run instruction. So I setup a
batch file, simply: @echo off - Run Mes1. Mes1 is the executable for the
program which is called by the run command. I then, and I believe this is
what you want saved itv in notepad as *.bat and placed it in the same
directory. I then set up a shortcut calling this batch file and for the last
8 years it has worked fine.

I hope this helps you.
