Creating / modifying a shortcut is done in the same manner.

This took a shortcut on my desktop "Testing.lnk" and changed the Target Path from "C:\Scripting" to "C:\Temp"

This script (based on the one of Country73) shows how to change a shortcut in the QuickLaunch bar of the currently logged on user

<edit>
Actually the use of the FileSystemObject in my sample script is not necessary at all to get the path of the shortcut (it's a left over from my tests).
You can simplify the statement to this:

strShortcutPath = strQuickLaunchPath & "\NameOfShortcut.lnk"

and remove all objFso statements
