Just a warning, You may not be doing it but just in case... FileMaker/ebase should not be accessed from a remote machine by any way other than through the FileMaker "Open Hosts" command. So If your shortcut is not finding ebase because it is on another machine say thank you. It is saving you from hosing your data!
The closest thing to a shortcut to open ebase v1 hosted on another machine is to create a small FileMaker file with a script in it which does the "open Remote". See your FileMaker documentation for more info on working with scripts and files.
