desktop path for creating/copying shortcut icon

[Rick]

Using Windows 2000 and VB.net, I would like to copy a
shortcut to the desktop, but I'm not sure what the path
is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,


Rick

P.S. If you have other ideas for the best way to create
and/or copy an icon to the desktop, please let me know.

Thank you very much for responding to my question. Just
one thing though... I would think the statement below
would work, but obviously something is missing. I tried
it with both the USERPROFILE one as well, and it didn't
work either. Needless to say, VB gives me an error
message on both.

Please advise whenever you might have a moment.


Thanks a lot,


Rick
