Hi all, 
I have a program that does an upgrade process via a ZIP file.
The first step is to rename the old files then create the new ones from
the ZIP file.

Problem is I am renaming an EXE file and there is a shortcut on the
desktop to this 
EXE file. The target gets renamed as well so that if I rename the file
from PROGRAM.EXE 
to PROGRAM.BCK (e.g.) the link on the desktop shortcut gets changed to
PROGRAM.BAK

Any suggestions on how to handle this?????
