Weird issue with link file target (LNK)

Hello

I have a link file (LNK) that in XYPlorer points to a different target that is pointing in other file managers. The difference between the file managers is that this LNK file in XYPlorer points to C:\Program Files (x86) and in the others it points to C:\Program Files.

Changing the path in XYPlorer doesn't keep the change.

Anyone can explain this?

Your shortcuts probably use %ProgramFiles% instead of the more specific and always correct %ProgramFiles(x86)% or %ProgramFilesW6432%.

I decided to create another link file with the correct path in XYPlorer and now it is OK.
