This should get you started.

   # Create the directory for the shortcuts.
   SetOutPath "$SMPROGRAMS\Your Main Folder Name}"

   !insertmacro SectionFlagIsSet Your_Section_Name ${SF_SELECTED} 0 +6
   # This will set the "Start In" directory.
   SetOutPath "$ApplicationDir\Your_Directory"
   CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\Your Main Folder Name\Your_applciation_Name.lnk" \
                  "$INSTDIR\Your_Application_directory\Your_EXE"

   !insertmacro SectionFlagIsSet Your_Section_Name2 ${SF_SELECTED} 0 +6
   # This will set the "Start In" directory.
   SetOutPath "$ApplicationDir\Your_Directory2"
   CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\Your Main Folder Name2\Your_applciation_Name2.lnk" \
                  "$INSTDIR\Your_Application_directory2\Your2_EXE"

This code do not work well.
The shortcut will allways be created,no matter the section selected or not.
I don't know why, the code seem right. where can I know more about "!insertmacro SectionFlagIsSet"

Did you define your sections like this?

Section "My Section Name" SecID1

I want to CreateShortCut to the sections which have been checked by the users,
but the code does not work well.
The shortcut will allways be created,no matter the section checked or not.

My chortcut.nsi is here

Sorry, I screwed up the example. This works.

section ""
   # Create the directory for the shortcuts.
   SetOutPath "$SMPROGRAMS\CreateShortCut"

   !insertmacro SectionFlagIsSet "${sec1}" "${SF_SELECTED}" 0 skipRed
   CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\CreateShortCut\red.lnk" "$INSTDIR\red.html"
skipRed:
   !insertmacro SectionFlagIsSet "${sec2}" "${SF_SELECTED}" 0 skipBlue
   CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\CreateShortCut\blue.lnk" "$INSTDIR\blue.html"
skipBlue:
   !insertmacro SectionFlagIsSet "${sec3}" "${SF_SELECTED}" 0 skipGreen
   CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\CreateShortCut\green.lnk" "$INSTDIR\green.html"
skipGreen:
   !insertmacro SectionFlagIsSet "${sec4}" "${SF_SELECTED}" 0 skipGray
   CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\CreateShortCut\gray.lnk" "$INSTDIR\gray.html"
skipGray:
SectionEnd
