Problem with Shortcut
Hi,
i hv some problem while creating shortcut on desktop and in startmenu. in my case both appears on their respective places. bt for the first time after installation when i double click it on the links they didnt start my application. they show the dialog for brousing of file. bt if i check the properties of the links and click "OK" with out changing any thing, they now work really as a link. now my application starts normally.

You should attach an example, it'd be easier to find out the problem this way.
