I am trying to use WINAPI shellexec function to execute
SHORTCUT (.lnk files ), but does not work.

Any application with .exe extension works fine.
e.g. notepad.exe, wordpad.exe

Even urls works fine.
e.g. "ftp:\\vsnl.com" works fine.

Also note that the SHORTCUTS work when we manually
type in [ WINDOWS95 -> START-> RUN ] option.
