Yes - create a shortcut to "cmd.exe", then tweak the
many properties of this shortcut.

I want to programatically do this using wsh. Any ideas?

I know that we are able to use a wscript shortcut object to do the job
(of creating a shortcut), but I don't see a property where we can
assign screen co-ordinates.

However, thorough the GUI, i.e when you right click and select
properties from the context menu, I can assign screen coordinates...I
just don't see a way I can programatically do this, yet.
