There is no such beast. If I want to create a .LNK file, what I do is
bring up the Windows Explorer. I find the file that I want to .LNK to.
I right-click on it and select "copy". If I want this on the Desktop,
I then right-click on the Desktop and select 'paste link'. The
"paste link" command is what creates the .LNK file. If I want it somewhere
else, then I use Explorer to display that folder. I right-click on the
folder name, then "paste link".
