Creating a shortcut.

UJ
I've got a program that I want to add to the startup group. I assume the way
to do it is create a shortcut in the C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup directory but don't know how to do it.

Anybody know how to create a shortcut programmatically?

TIA - Jeff.
