>That seems to be the only solution. Since my shortcuts number 200+, I have created an application that allows me to enter the necessary info (target, start directory, argument etc) into a table and then auto-create the shortcuts in a user specified directory. Would still like to know why the os behaves as it does.
Backwards compatibility only goes so far. It must have to do with changes to NTFS. I couldn't find anything at all.
