Creating multiple shortcuts, and automatically creating shortcuts

Hi, I'm new to VBScripting, but I am not a novice at programming and other scripting languages.
 
Before I get to grips with VBScript could some kind soul tell me if my couple of tasks are feasible with VBScript.
 
Task 1: Imagine I have a folder named FOLDER-A with 100 mp4 files in it,
00.mp4
~
99.mp4
I have another folder named FOLDER-B and I want to create 100 shortcuts in it to all the files in FOLDER-A. Creating one shortcut is easy enough, but doing 100 by hand is tedious, hence automating the process with a script.
 
That takes care of an existing folder with files.
 
Task 2:  is to monitor FOLDER-A for any new files saved there, and automatically add a shortcut to the new file in FOLDER-B
 
Do you think that these two tasks can be done with VBScript, and if so, which commands should I look at first?
 
Many thanks
 
Rock
 

Task 1: Possible, but wouldn't it be far easier to just select all files and <Ctrl>-<Shift>-drag them to the destination folder?
 
Task 2: Should be possible as well using WMI event notifications. I have never used this myself, though, so perhaps some of the other regulars can provide you with more details.
