Thanks.

BTW, there is a reason why common Windows .lnk files (i.e. shortcuts) 
are not supported?

I think it would be very useful to have a way to create/modify/read 
those files, since they are so ubiquitous on Windows and sadly are 
binary files with a weird format (I think it is not even completely 
open, IIRC), so they require Windows API calls to be created or modified 
reliably.
