The shortcut name is irrelevant. You just pass a different commandline argument to the application from each shortcut and you process the commandline arguments in the app. Your commandline might look like "myapp.exe -1" or "myapp /a". It is completely up to you what format they take and what values to use, but it is customary to precede them with a dash or forward slash. In code, you can call Environment.GetCommandLineArgs to get a String array containing all the commandline arguments, where the first one is the exe name itself.
