I see that another way is available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/programmersguide/shell_int/shell_int_programming/shortcuts/shortcut.asp I haven't tried, and I don't have the knowledge to convert the C++ to Python, but it works at a lower level and may get around the bugs. It does seem that the name of the file isn't Unicode in their method, either, so I'm not sure if it'll work. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
