Shugo,

Another thing :

The magic happens after "File not found", when you point
it to the file, the .lnk is updated with realtive paths.

Are you *sure* that the result is again a relative path (to the target), and 
not an absolute path as it normally contains ?   As the shortcut-creating 
program doesn't seem to work for me, can you check ?

The thing is, if the standard resolving by the OS of a relative shortcut 
created by that program results in a shortcut with absolute paths again than 
its no good for me* - it has to /stay/ relative.

* and I don't need to put effort into finding such a program for my OS or 
trying to generate such a shortcut file myself.
