Shortcut on Desktop.

[Michaelk]

Hi, i want my program to create a short cut of itself on the desktop when a button is presed. Say, Button1.

I know that the desktop folder is found at:

[size=2]
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop)
[/size]

But what do i use to create a shotcut there?

Thanks,
