[MiNT] shortcuts



Ages ago I used to have a shortcut on my Thing desktop
that was linked to my u:\home folder.

At some point it disappeared and I never really noticed.

I recreated the link a few days ago using Thing and then
dragged the linkicon onto the desktop. This is probably
what I did when I created the original icon. The only
addition was setting Alt-F10 to open the link.

When I double-click on the icon it tries to open
I:\Home which fails and Thing offers to find the folder.
Alt-F10 did the same.

I had a look at the Thing.Inf file and it had I:\Home
so I altered it to I:\home (lower case) which works with
Alt-F10 but double-click the icon and it tries to open I:\Home
again and fails. I also changed it to U:\home and it
was no different.

I suspected a Thing bug but this doesn't explain why
double-clicking on the icon worked a few years ago.

Strange.
