I am facing a problem while creating shortcut on desktop using VB 6.0. I had
been successfully created the shortcut but my actual requirement is more than
just creating the shortcut. My requirement is that, after creating the
shortcut on desktop whenever user double clicks on shortcut the shortcut
resource should be opened always in new window. E.g. if I create the shortcut
which refers to the http://www.hotmail.com, so when ever user clicks on it
e.g. 5 times than the 5 different instances of browser should be open with
hotmail loaded in these.Please anyone help me to solve this problem I will be
very thankful to him/her.

This may not be what you are looking for, but check this sample VB6 code:

Starting Specified URLs in Separate Instances of the Default Browser

Creating a Desktop Application Shortcut
http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/shell/desktoplink.htm

Another approach is to let the shortcut run your App, which run other
application. To get the command line arguments, see "Command Function" in
MSDN.
