Links to programs in Windows?

[Kresten Bjerg]

Creating links to any program on Windows

We have been experimenting to script a handler, which can permit windows
users to select an arbitrary program (to create a link button)

Linking to the "Program Files" folder is easy, but novice user gets lost
in the chaos there.

We have worked to script having users select through the ../Start
Menu/Programs folder, but here only a small selection of the many
files/aliases comes up, in contrast to what is seen when you manually
open that folder via the start menu,- or work your way down the
directories /C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs.

Does anybody have an explanation ?  A solution ? 

set the systemFileSelector to false does not help, has same meagre
result.
