I am in need of a c/c++ routine or function with which I can create short cuts from one folder to another.?

I have just finished developing a windows application in c++. I have chosen to write my own installer program. I am now in need of a c/c++ routine with wish I can create short cut from the desk top , the start bar and the programs menu to my application executable's location. Could any one funish me with or tell me where to get such routine.
