Subject: Explorer crashes when it sees this .lnk file


Hi all,

Explorer crashes when it "sees" this .lnk file in a
directory. Looks like some
decoding code for .lnk files crashes when it sees this. The code
seems to be in a shared dll. U cannot edit this file using
any windows based
hex editor. All apps crash when they see this. This may be
exploitable, ....
