Notes
To avoid problems you should set the IdList field to nil before using this record. You must call ShellLinkFree when you no longer need the ShellLink record. The shell shortcut functions rely on COM internally and as such you should ensure COM is propertly initialized by calling the Win32 CoInitialize(nil) function before using these functions.
