Question

But when the user can create any name for the shortcut. so if the user is selecting the shortcut. I need the name of this short cut. not the program its pointing to

Answer 1

You can't getting the shortcut name from running exe. Application does not receive information about shortcut used to launch it.

You can use command line arguments and/or current working directory to configure your application (both can be set via properties of a shortcut).
