Comments
EVALUATION The reason the problem does not appear on 1.6 was that the shortcut created does not have long argument as on 7. The reason was added arguments by Andy to fix bug 6923172. One solution other than go back to the old limit of 260 chars, is to review the common/windows/native/Platform.cpp createShortcut code for possibility of increase the limit according to IShellLink.SetArguments() documentation. Please see the attached TestShortcut program for digging further in this direction. Reassign to Andy for final solution.
