    the same as any other shortcut

    CreateShortcut "$smprograms\my app\my shortcut.lnk" "c:\path\to\folder"

    this is explorer 99% of the time, and its really what you want, but if you want to force explorer

    CreateShortcut "$smprograms\my app\my shortcut.lnk" "$windir\explorer.exe" '/e,"c:\path\to\folder"'

    but that shortcut will have the wrong icon etc
