AFAICT, this is a completely different problem. The only similarity to 
Vasiliy's report is that both (appear to) involve mkshortcut.  I believe 
your report has to do with error handling when attempting to modify the 
All User's Desktop, when you don't actually retain the elevated 
permissions necessary to do so.

However, mkshortcut shouldn't *hang* in that case, so it's definitely 
mkshortcut bug.  I just haven't had the cycles to track it down and fix 
it. PTC...
