   if you think so... works fine for me.   
      
   BTW: here I found some source code to create a .lnk file   
      
   https://github.com/ElektroStudios/Easy-Link-File-Viewer/releases/tag/v1.7   
      
   And this tool also saves the relative paths correctly. Also works with a   
   changed drive letter.   
      
   If you create a shortcut with the windows UI there are no correct relative   
   paths, like you said. Just look with a hex editor!
