Create shortcut - NO MFC

[aewarnick]

Correct me if I'm wrong...
All I have found to create a windows shortcut is IShell and it looks to be in an mfc header file indicating that I need to use mfc to create a windows shortcut. How do I create a shortcut without mfc?

Hi!

No, there's no need to use mfc in order to create a shell shortcut.

Here's the official MSDN documentation on Shell Links with examples (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/programmersguide/shell_int/shell_int_programming/shortcuts/shortcut.asp) :thumb:
