Get a VBS file to scan computer for a file - vbscript

Question

This is my first post, but I have been programming for a long time now
I just want to ask a quick question and the title explains it all. I want my VBS to run a file, but I dont want it to search just for a specific directory, I want it to just find the file if you know what I mean, because if I gave the script to anyone else, this file could be ANYWHERE on their computer.
This is the current couple of important lines that I am using for running files:
set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
and
wshshell.run <program directory here>

You need a recursive function like this one searching for shortcuts.
Sub GenerateHotkeyInFolder(Fldr)
on error resume next
set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set FldrItems=Fldr.Items
For Each oFile in FldrItems
With oFile
If .IsFileSystem = true And .IsLink = true And .Type <> "Shortcut to MS-DOS Program" then
set lnk = WshShell.CreateShortcut(oFile.Path)
If lnk.hotkey <> "" then
Set fsop = fso.GetFile(.Path)
LnkName = "<b>" & fso.GetBaseName(fso.GetFile(.Path)) & "</b><br>" & fsop.ParentFolder.path & "\" & fso.GetBaseName(fso.GetFile(.Path)) & "." & fso.GetExtensionName(fso.GetFile(.Path))
TableVar = TableVar & "<tr><td><b>" & lnk.hotkey & "</b></td><td><a class=TblURL onmouseover='MakeRed()' onmouseout='MakeBlack()' onclick='FindShortcut(" & Chr(34) & lnk.fullname & Chr(34) & ")'>" & lnkname & "</a>" & "</td><td><a class=TblURL onmouseover='MakeRed()' onmouseout='MakeBlack()' onclick='FindShortcut(" & Chr(34) & lnk.targetpath & Chr(34) & ")'>" & lnk.targetpath & "</a></td></tr>" & vbcrlf
End If
ElseIf .IsFileSystem = true And .IsFolder = true then
GenerateHotkeyInFolder(.GetFolder)
End If
End With
Next
End Sub
