I would like to create a shortcut on the desktop using VBScript code. I have a virtual Drive in my computer. (Virtual Drive is like G drive) I want this shortcut to explore that Drive directly. For this I find out that Shortcut with following string as a TargetPath would work for me:

C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /n,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}::{89214D20-CAC1-4A33-8DF4-BD9D18A996B9}

While creating shortcut using vb script I need to enclose above string in ” “, which don’t work for me. I need to delete ” ” from the Target of the created Shortcut only then it works. Is there any way so that I can create shortcut programmatically, that can explore the virtual drive (available in my system). I need to get it in Vista OS.
