XYplorer Beta Club

XY doesn't seem able to open special system shortcuts.

For instance:
Open the control panel in classic view.
Right click an item and create a shortcut to it on the desktop.
Navigate to the shortcut in XY.
Attempting to open the shortcut now doesn't work properly.

If you use the shortcut in a UDC, double click, press Enter, or use the File -> Open items, it doesn't work correctly.

If you add it to the catalog and then change its action on click to "Open Item" or use right click -> Open it launches successfully.


Using XY v6.80.0034 and Windows XP SP2.

I'm a bit behind (6.80.0034) but I just tried it here on my W2K system and get same result...but I also noted that the tooltip hover for the LNK does not show any value for Target, so it may be that these LNK to Control Panel (.cpl) modules are slightly different than normal ones.

Now it can!

And here I thought this might not be an easy fix.

/me knocks on wood while awaiting the next beta.
