similar to: R.lnk shortcut: Warning message when opening Microsoft Word 2003

Is it possible to execute a program using the shortcut files (aka .lnk) that are generated for the Start Menu et. al?

Is that currently possible, or does some parser need to be created? Thanks, - Dave

I have a strange issue with roaming profiles. It only happens for users which has no roaming profile on a Samba server yet. When a user logs out for the first time, some files can't be copied from: C:\Documents and Settings\username\SendTo\ to a profiles directory on the server.
