create alias in XP

[sims]

I'm using the following on Windows XP

     create alias (specialfolderpath("start") & "/" & "Name of
Alias.lnk") to file "path to original app..."

The alias/shortcut gets made, looks ok, has the correct target, but does not
work. When I checked another shortcut made by right-clicking & then examining
it in Properties the newly created shortcut lacks any text in the 
"Start in" field.
If I fill that in from a good alias the new alias works.

Where am I going wrong here?

ciao,
