I don't know, but a shortcut is a file, so you can create its contents and save it in the desktop folder, I guess...

Here's a little snippet to find the Desktop Folder...
Code: Select all
buffer.l=0
folder.s=space$(255)
SHGetSpecialFolderLocation_(0, 16, @buffer)
SHGetPathFromIDList_(buffer, @folder)
MessageRequester("Desktop Folder",folder,0)
Why not just use a freeware installer? Clickteam makes a good one!

AFAIK there is no API call to create a desktop shortcut.
But...
I will upload a procedure to create a desktop shortcut on Paul's resource site.
Have a nice day...
