Create shortcut via program ?

[Shako]

Hi 

Is it possible to create a  shortcut to my program, when a user clicks on a button ?

I thought to copy and paste a static shortcut but the shortcut target must includes a file that the user specifies.

Is there any way of doing this ?

I found a solution.

I create a bat fille with the attributes i want.

I have another question.

How do i change the icon of the bat that i have created ?

You might want to look at the information and examples in this MSDN article.

I do not think you can change the icon of a .bat file individually.

.bat files are simple text files with DOS commands in it. No room for icons. 

You can change the icons of "all" batch files from Folder Options > File Types

Here is a bat-to-exe converter program.

Maybe you can convert your .bat to exe and assign an icon for it.

I need it all to be done via my software.

Is there a way i can create my own extension which is a duplicate of the .bat extension ?

I found the real why to do it.

By creating a Shell Link Using Win32 API.
