I have a shortcut that's created in the users My Pictures folder - that
points to a folder in my Application Directory. Upon uninstallation, this
shortcut to a folder, is not removed even though the directory that it was
pointing to was. We've tried adding the .lnk file to the RemoveFiles table,
but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
