Building on the answer from Moo-Juice, try the following:

        WshShell shell = new WshShell();
        string app = Path.Combine(Environment.SystemDirectory, "powercfg.cpl");
        string linkPath = @"C:\PowerLink.lnk";
        IWshShortcut link = (IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut)shell.CreateShortcut(linkPath);
        link.TargetPath = app;
        link.IconLocation = string.Format("{0},2", app);
        link.Save();
