Odd.  I can use CreateShortcut to create and alter it, but some of its 
attributes remain inaccessible.  Oh well.

I just did a google for "VBScript IShellLinkDataList".  Don't you just hate 
it when even the first page has results which do not even contain the words 
you're looking for.  I know I do. :-(

??? /what/ powershell ?    This is Sparta^wXP ! :-)

Though while doing the above search I came across one which mentioned that 
setting a "run as administrator" just needed the flipping of one bit in the 
.lnk file, which made me realize I could most likely do the same.

Alas, although I think I found the byte it looks like that its not at a 
fixed location (even copying the origional .lnk file to a new location and 
changing the setting caused it to change its size), meaning that the file 
needs to be parsed.   Assuming I can access the file in a binary fashion 
that is.

I'll probably take a look at it, just not now. :-)
