With all the gurus that have posted replies to this thread already and not mentioned this, there is probably a reason, but my first question when I read this script was "Why in the world are you running a *.lnk file?"

I have never found any need to run a lnk file as opposed to just running the app it points to. Referrencing the app itself would be the first thing I'd try. Also, I see a space in "TC 9.lnk". Wouldn't the correct referrence be "TC9.lnk" or TC9~1.lnk"?
