How do I create a shortcut to an application in VC++?

I need to copy a program into the windows folder and put an icon for it on
the desktop.

Thanks,
Greg

What's the context here? A C# program? A setup project?

A C++ program. Basically I want to copy the program itself (a single,
stand-alone exe) to the windows folder and create a shortcut to that exe
file on the desktop.

Thanks.
