Linking icon to Access db

Comment:
I have a small database that I created using MS Access and I want to distribute this among my friends (aquarium enthusiasts). So I created EXE file using WinZip 11.0.
When the users unzip the files, database and other files (such as photos, icon and help file) are written to a new sub directory.
I want to make this a little more professional. I want to be able to create a icon on my desktop and link that to the database automatically when they unzip. How can I accomplish this?

Can you run a program when the unzipping finishes? If so, save this .vbs and have the unzipper run it:
With CreateObject("WScript.Shell") With .CreateShortcut(.SpecialFolders("Desktop") & "\Database.lnk") .TargetPath = "database.mdb" .WorkingDirectory = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetFolder(".").Path .IconLocation = "icon.ico" .Description = "I'm a shortcut, yo" .WindowStyle = 1 .Save End With End With
