uhm... just right click on your desktop, select New, select shortcut. It'll pop up with a screen thats a shortcut wizard (or something like that) and it'll allow you to browse for the file you want... hope that helps

No, it doesn't. I don't want the USER to create the shortcut but the PROGRAM! But because you can unzip the program in any map on your computer.. i want the program to make an shortcut on the desktop on his current location. Does anyone knowes how it must be done and what i mean?

Thanks in advance,

The Dream Keeper!

i don't think you can... i mean, there's no command to change the icon in the title bar when yer in windows mode so i doubt theres a command to make shortcuts...
