The registry fix worked for me also, as far as getting PowerPro to operate on the link file itself. Sometimes this is desirable and sometimes it is desirable for PowerPro to follow the link file to the target, as Alex pointed out. Perhaps a set of command options can be added to PowerPro so a script can decide what to do.
