I was given the option to open it with the default application but it didn't work, and it did delete my folder "Miscosas". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. [in windows] make a windows folder (named D:\MyFolder) 2. [in windows] make a shortcut to that folder ('D:\shortcut to Myfolder.lnk') 3. go to 'file:///d:/' 4. click on 'shortcut to Myfolder.lnk' 5. click on 'open it with the default application' 6. it says 'shortcut to Myfolder.lnk could not be opened, because an unknown error ocurred' 7. the folder Myfolder has disappeared Actual Results: The folder Myfolder has disappeared and all data is lost (it does a recursive delete) Expected Results: nothing should have happened A more insight view of the followed steps: - I click on the shortcut - FireBird creates a copy of my shortcut file ('shortcut to MyFolder.lnk'), with a random name (ej. mbd9kjvl.lnk) in my temp folder - I click on 'open it with the default application' - It gives the error message and MyFolder gets deleted - both 'shortcut to MyFolder.lnk' and 'mbd9kjvl.lnk' are still there Some other things I noticed: - The same happens when I click on the option 'Open it with:' (I chose the notepad) - The same happens when the shortcut is to a file, instad of to a folder. - The file isn't deleted when it is read only. ¿Is FireBird trying to delete the copy of my shortcut and deletes the targeted folder instead?
