Use a symbolic link (or a junction for a directory) instead of the shortcut. Shortcut is actually another file.
Thansk Ovo,
i was just wondering if it is possible with shortcuts, as i have a bunch of files in different directories....
It obviously isn't, so mklink it is.

When i try to open a shortcut with FileOpen(), it opens the shortcut file itself, instead of file this shortcut is pointing to.
I thought that the shortcut is actually a link in some OS layer, but it obviously isn't.
Any ideas how to solve this?
