Alas no.  Not thru the "properties" of an existing one, not when creating
one using VBScript, and not when doing the same using the IShellLink object.

The first and the last will throw an error, and VBScript will just silently
combine it with the "c:\" root.

Though for the IShellLink object its possible that I've just not found the 
correct way to do it...

That is, using XPsp3.  I've got no idea if it has changed on later versions
of Windows.
