===============================
Excel 2003

Has anyone used a Windows "Shortcut" as an indirect address for a "Shell" command to execute a program with command line parameters?

This would allow me to drag a shortcut to any users "C:\" root directory and use the shortcut to get to other resources, such as Adobe Distiller or whatever. In some cases that would be simpler than trying to dig the correct version of the correct executable out of the Registry, especially where there may be several versions of the program on the machine.

Thank you for any and all comments, suggestions, and assistance with this inquiry.
