Summary: CreateShortcut should be able to create shortcuts to folders

Initial Comment:
Currently, if you try to create a shortcut with
CreateShortcut and specify any directory as a target,
the shortcut will fail to work.

you should be able to not only create shortcuts for
files but also for folders.

this may be implemented as auto-detection on runtime
(may lead to conflicts, if a file and a folder have the
same path and name) or as some syntax for the user to
choose on scripting time.

for example, you specify normal shortcuts with
"C:\blabla.exe" and folder shortcuts with "C:\blabla\*".
last one would lead to folder "C:\blabla\"

Works fine for me as well. Please include a complete
example, if available.
