Creating Simple Desktop Shortcut

Google Earth for example does not create a shortcut. What is the best way to go about doing this? Maybe just copying a file?

I recommend that you take a look at this PDQ blog post, it describes how to do exactly what you're trying to do:

Easiest way is to blast the shortcut out to the Public desktop. Assuming all application installs are the same architecture just create a new package step to copy the .lnk shortcut file to C:\users\public. If different architectures are possible then create 2 steps, 1 for each, and use step conditions to determine which step runs on which machine.
