> -------------- Context.PowerPro ----------------------------
> @MoveFolder

Be careful when using a File.move or delete operation from PowerPro's 
context menu. You have to remember to never use this function to move 
or delete a *.lnk file (often called a shortcut).

If you accidentially select a *.lnk file, Window's gives PowerPro the 
Target for a *.lnk file; and PowerPro will move or delete the target 
of the *.lnk and not the actual *.lnk you expected/selected. (The 
target of lnks are often programnames.)

To test this: write a Copy.Set(filename) context menu item and select 
a *.lnk filename (a shortcut).

A possible way to minimize this error is to check if:

Folder.name(filename)==currentdir

But even the above check isn't fool proof if the *.lnk's target is in 
same directory as the explorer's currentdir.

Using SendTo and ppBangTwice is a method for getting around this, but 
is limited to Window's commandline length.

This is IMHO, a Window's design error and not a PowerPro design 
error.  (FYI: *.URL shortcuts are handled properly by Windows.)
