Win9x shortcuts have a different format. They should be modified when
you run an upgrade if they are somewhere where the Setup system looks -
in the Start Menu; Desktop or 'My Documents'. Other places, I think
they probably need regenerating.

Shortcuts are exactly the same wherever you keep them, and you can move
them about freely. Hotkey settings in them, though, only work if they
are either in folders of Start Menu (ie below All Programs) or on the
desktop. The way I create them is to r-drag the relevant .exe to the
Desktop and take 'Create shortcut; then r-click on that to rename. You
can do the same with some other objects, from the Start Menu top level
and things like Printers and Network connections
