shortcut
A small *.lnk file that appears on your desktop. In Windows, it contains a link to a program or file, a link to an icon *.ico file to represent the shortcut, and a directory to run the program in. You click it to launch the associated program or view the file. You can create them by right clicking the desktop and clicking new ⇒ shortcut. Normally you rename them to get rid of the “shortcut to” prefix.

In Vista, you can interconvert menu items and shortcuts by drag and drop.

You can use Ace Utilities to delete orphaned shortcuts that point to programs or files that no longer exist.

Unlike kickers, shortcuts are not used in *.bat files. Shortcuts are purely for interactive use. Java Web Start will optionally install shortcuts on your desktop and menu items.
