located in any directory i want, and the file will b stuck in its natural
directory. Any way of doing this?

Thx

You can programmatically create a shortcut by P/Invoking the
SHCreateShortcut API function. See here for the code to do it:-

Also, you can create the shortcut as a simple text file (if you have no
shell and can't access that API, for instance). The format is:

<char count>#<command line>

So, to run a program called myprog.exe with a /run parameter, the file would
contain something like:

15#myprog.exe /run
