Can windows shortcuts use relative paths?
Maybe, but it doesn't work for me on Win 10:
Currently my VBS script creates links like this depending on what
directory you are in when you run the script (pwd):

If I try to change that to relative, like this:
https://www.mildredbrennan.com/mvs/shortcut2.png
... I get an error, as if relative is not allowed:

I could call a DOS window and have it open the relative file, but then I
see a DOS window for a split second which bugs me, and the shortcut also
appears as a DOS window icon. So I'm sticking with what I have.
