   Alas no.  Not thru the "properties" of an existing one, not when creating   
   one using VBScript, and not when doing the same using the IShellLink object.   
      
   The first and the last will throw an error, and VBScript will just silently   
   combine it with the "c:\" root.   
      
   Though for the IShellLink object its possible that I've just not found the   
   correct way to do it...   
      
   That is, using XPsp3.  I've got no idea if it has changed on later versions   
   of Windows.
