Default Using vb to launch a shortcut

We have macros that use a legacy program and either
extracts information from or updates info to the legacy
program.

Our instructions always tell the users to OPEN the legacy
program first, before starting the macro. We set the
legacy program as an object and then refer to the object
throughout the macro.

Is there a way for a macro to launch a desktop shortcut or
search for a file name on a PC's hard drive to start the
legacy program? Thanks.....
