XYplorer Beta Club
I cannot find any questions about this problem in Beta Club, which is very strange.
Do you have any idea or fix for this? Thanks in advance.

Problem with "shortcut files"
When I double click any "shortcut file" (not "shortcut key"), XY just goes to and displays the Windows Desktop, rather than opens the file pointed to by the shortcut file.

Welcome to the XY forums!
First: Which vers of XY? ( Just so we know where you are in time)
Second: You're referring to clicking on a ".lnk" file, right?
Third: I'm on latest beta and I've just tried a number of shortcuts in various places and they all work correctly...I presume your shortcuts work correctly in Win Expl?

Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

Many thanks for your kind welcome and reply.
> First: Which vers of XY?
It's "5.5o.0020", which is the latest beta version, as far as I know.

Yes, you're right!

There's no problem with the Win Expl (Korean version of Widows XP Professional). I suppose the problem might have come from the the different language of the Windows other than English...

Yes, my guess was right. It's the Korean version of Windows that causes the problem. Exchanging messages and describing the problem, I've come to be sure that it may work correctly in English version of the Windows, as said by j_c_hallgren. So, my suspicion went to the language of the Windows...
In Korean version of the Win, the shortcut files have the suffix in Korean charcters meaning roughly "pointer to". I renamed them by removing Korean suffix characters, and appending ".lnk".
Many thanks for j_c_hallgren's help with this problem!
