I have had a similar problem recently under Windows Vista Business. Could not get it to work for shortcuts to a folder. It all looked OK but did not actually go to the folder when opened, just popped up the dialog asking which application to use.
In the end I stopped using Wind32::Shortcut altogether. I do this instead, with appropriate definitions for $linkname and $target:
use Win32::OLE;
my $WShell = Win32::OLE->new('WScript.Shell');
my $sc = $WShell->CreateShortcut("$linkname.lnk");
if ( -d "$target")
{
# This looks weird but is the only way I could make it work.
# A straight forward link to a folder sort of looks right but
# doesn't actually work when you try to follow it.
# This creates a bit of mix between a link and a url.
# It is a .lnk file but it sets TargetPath to a URL like value.
$sc->{'TargetPath'} = "file:///$target";
}
else
{
$sc->{'TargetPath'} = "$target";
}
$sc->Save();

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
