ClickOnce update deletes app shortcut

I'm using Visual Studios 2005 on Windows XP to publish a .NET project to a website with ClickOnce. It's installed and I manually create a desktop shortcut to the application. Then, I publish an update to the project and run the application and press OK to update. When the application starts up, my desktop shortcut gets deleted! This didn't used to happen...... How can I fix this?

If I rename the shortcut, the update doesn't delete it....

If I goto the properties for the shortcut, it says "Type of File: Application Reference."
