   Assuming you are talking about a standard shortcut, it doesn't work as long   
   as the origional target is still present (read : the subtree is copied).

   Thats part of the problem : in /some/ (normal) situations it works, and in   
   other (as normal) situations it won't. And thats just begging for Murphys   
   law to be invoked. :-(   
      
      
   As an example, try this :   
      
   1) Create a textfile and write "origional" in it. Close it   
   2) Create a shortcut to it next to that textfile.   
      
   3) copy the textfile and shortcut to some other spot on the same 'puter   
   4) Open the copied textfile and replace "origional" with "copy". Close it   
      
   5) Double-click the copied shortcut.   I /want/ to see the textfile with   
   "copied" in it, but that is not what happens - at least, not here.
