setup1 modification shortcut icon start in

I have modified the setup1 file to place an icon on the desktop, but I'd like to do 2 other things and have not been able to find information on the way to do it.

1. I want to detect if the icon is already on the desktop, if it is, I will skip replacing it.

2. The start in location is different than the program path. I want to plug this in using data the user keys at the beginning of the setup. I'm not sure how to change the start in line.

Here is the code I am currently using.

Thank you
Catrina

strProgramPath = SavePath$ & "ipdpwin.exe"
strGroup = "..\..\DeskTop"
strProgramIconTitle = "PDP Payroll"

sParent = "$(Programs)"

CreateShellLink strProgramPath, strGroup, strProgramArgs, strProgramIconTitle, true, sParent

P.S., if you get an answer to your question, could you let me know what it is? Thx!
