Thats part of it.  The other one is the IDList.  I'm not at all sure what 
will happen when they mismatch.

... And hope that, when I put a relative path to the target in there, its 
resolved correctly.  Mind you, there is no need for a shortcut to do such a 
resolving, as it's supposed to have full paths.

Yes, I've been thinking about generating the shortcut datafile myself too.

I've already sought for and found some file-format descriptions.  No 
indication which version of Windows they are valid for though. :-(
