I'm pretty sure this can not be done with a batch file alone. So you either need a third party application (such as Creating a Shortcut from the command line (batch file)) or you could just use a vb script (think 'advanced batch file'), such as Create shortcut from a batch script [Archive] - PC World Forums.

how about
xcopy d:\folder1\shortcut.exe "c:\Userprofile\desktop\shortcut.exe"

would that work?

No. That would just copy the whole file, not make a shortcut.

You could create the inf file , copy that onto the disk then use the xcopy to move it to desktop

The stuff that you're doing in here is much better handled through VBS scripting. Take a look at msdn's scripting site for examples of moving files/folders and creating shortcuts.
