In my vb.net programme (an interactive book) I have to
create a shortcut from the desktop to a named path (for
programme start) - without using the deployment project
available.
I have sorted out various ways of setting up without using
the deployment project method (I am a masochist!!).

However, the programme uses 700 Mb of data and the list
stored in the Application folder of the deployment project
is too big for placing completely on a single CD ROM.

So I need a method using available VB.net language
elements / methods to place a shortcut on the desktop to
the programme site on a user's computer.
Hope you can help.
