Create Windows Shortcuts

Question

With ZfD 7 I was able to add Windows application shortcuts in the the Application Object. I've been searching on how to do this with ZCM bundles and so far I'm stumped. I don't see any actions related to creating a shortcut, nor can I find any reference to shortcuts in the documentation.
I've also tried uploading a shortcut file to the server, but the ZCC simple follows the path within the shortcut, attempting to upload the files the shortcut targets instead.
Has anyone figured out a way to do this? Am I missing something obvious?

Answer 1

Well, We all have those moments.
One of my favorites was the time I spend close to an hour trying to get a PC
to recognize an external USB HDD.
After Giving UP, I asked my boss.
It took him about 3.2 Seconds..............You have it plugged into the
wrong computer........Doh!!!
(In my defense, there were 4 stacked on top of each other, but
still..............)
