Thanks for the information, asdf. I've struggled trying to get my Explorer shortcuts
to work correctly on Win 95, 98, NT & now 2000. Sometimes successfully, sometimes
not. Usually, I'll just "settle" for something that works and doesn't lock things
up, even though it's not exactly what I want.
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this weird crap... :)
