Help needed: How create a link/shortcut within .NET

i have to create from within a kind of setup program (with admin rights) a 
shortcut to the desktop of a users pointing to a UNC path .

searching of something like: shortcut <from file> <to path> < working 
directory>

is there a class within the framework - i may have missed :-) - capable to 
provide the functionality?

regards

What's a "kind of setup program"? If you're using MSI it should have
built in support for creating shortcuts.

Hi Mattias,

There is no chance for using MSI in this case.

I am just looking for a .NET class providing this link feature for 
filesystem objects.
(I am avare of the Windows API - but try hard to avoid using it!)
