Gerson Kurz has already responded to this. However, I can't shake 
the impression I had that you were referring to shortcuts of the kind 
used on the Windows desktop.

The accepted way of doing this involves interacting with the 
Windows Shell as a COM object. For Python code (adapted from 
something Mike Fletcher adapted from something written by Mark 
Hammond) that might do what you want please write.

Nevertheless, I'm unaware of any method of doing this that would 
provide acceptably quick response other than what Mr Kurz 
suggested.
