This patch changes the way shortcuts are invoked by the shell.  The 
original Wine ShellExecute code "knew" too much about .lnk files, 
treating the in a special way.  This caused a number of problems, 
because .lnk files didn't work the same way as other files.

I wrote a description of the way it should work in the Wine Wiki:

ChangeLog:
Invoke shortcuts through IContextMenu, rather than trying to access them 
directly.
