The Desktop (create shortcut) option in the Send To menu helps you quickly add a shortcut to a file or folder on your Desktop. Here is a VBScript that adds the Quick Launch (create shortcut) option to the Send To menu. Clicking this option creates a shortcut to a file or folder in the Quick Launch toolbar.
