Windows NT Server Resource Kit utility shortcut.exe allows one to create shortcuts, .lnk files, from the commandline. The syntax is:
shortcut -t pathtoprogram -n shortcutname -i pathtoicon -x iconindex -d startupdirectory

The utility can be found in the \i386\desktop folder. Its on the original server reskit CD but not on supplement 4.
