You can check shortcutjs.bat:

::creates a shortcut that will start the target with minimized window and admin permissions
shortcutjs.bat -linkfile myscriptMin.lnk -target "%cd%\myscript.bat" -windowstyle 7 -adminpermissions yes

::creates a shortcut with a hot keys
shortcutjs.bat -linkfile myscriptHK.lnk -target "%cd%\myscript.bat" -hotkey "ALT+CTRL+P"

With this you can also edit existing shortcut or only display its properties.
