I changed the code as follows:

<!-- Desktop Shortcut Test -->
      <Directory Id="DesktopFolder" Name="Desktop"/>
      <Directory Id="CommonAppDataFolder" Name="ProgramDataFolder"/>
      <Component Id="ComponentBSStrageShortcut"
Guid="{8436995c-2e76-4030-b92d-c6b4bc243c43}">
        <Shortcut Id="ComponentBSStrageShortcut"
                  Directory="DesktopFolder"
                  WorkingDirectory="APPLICATIONFOLDER"
                  Target="[CommonAppDataFolder]/MTK/BSStrage"
                  Name="BSStrage"
                  Show="normal"/>
        <RegistryValue Action="write" 
                       Key="SOFTWARE/MTK/BS" 
                       Root="HKCU" 
                       Type="string" 
                       KeyPath="yes" 
                       Value="ApplicationFolderName"/>
      </Component>   

Now it places a shortcut on desktop, however there is a problem. It actually
creates a Shortcut to "BSStrage" thinking that it is an application.
However, "BSStrage" is actually a folder and I need to create a shortcut to
this folder. So how can I tell Wix that BSStrage is a folder and I need a
shortcut to it so that I'll be able to open it by double clicking it?
