Desktop Icons And Uderstanding API's

[AGP]

Can anyone tell me whether you can specify? and how to specify which desktop icon is displayed when using the following function.

Public Sub m_CreateShortcut(ScFolder As Variant, ScCaption As String, TargetPath As String, Optional ScParam As String, Optional StartFolder As String, Optional IcoNum As Integer, Optional IcoPath As String, Optional WindowMode As Integer)

Also, when using API's in my application (i.e Shell32.dll as above) can you always presume that they will be available on Win95/98/2000/NT platforms.?

many thanks.

As far as i know this only CREATES shortcuts... and no you can't be sure which platforms support which API functions...especially 'tween network/non network os
