The interface doesn't create any links on the desktop in XP, which is what I
mainly used for testing. The same may not be true for earlier systems which
actually used progman.exe, though. I'm not really sure how we should interact
with that component.

This isn't normal behaviour, but it's also a preëxisting bug. The problem is
basically that explorer.exe doesn't respect the /n or /e flags (and also, I
think, that ShellExecute() doesn't differentiate between the "open" and
"explore" verbs.) I think while looking into this I found more architectural
problems than I wanted to deal with at the moment—for example, on Windows,
Explorer windows all seem to run in the same process (which may or may not be a
separate process from the desktop process, depending on whether a certain
option is set).
