No_Shell_Links 

Explanation:

In 6.x, the default is to use the .LNK file as you have seen. There is a notes.ini, SHELL_LINKS, that was put into 6.04 to (I guess that corresponds to 6.5.2) to control the behavior. Setting SHELL_LINKS=1 will treat the .LNK file as a shortcut and dive into the shortcut directory.

In 7.x, the default is changed (dive into shortcut by default) and there is a notes.ini to change to the other behavior (NO_SHELL_LINKS=1). There is also a UI for the user preference in 7 to control the behavior. Forget the exact wording used in the preference.

Applies to:

Workstations

Default Value:

None

UI equivalent:

None, although you can specify this setting in the NOTES.INI Settings tab of the Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.

Syntax:

No_Shell_Links=0 / 1
