Cannot create .PIF shortcuts on 64bit Windows #254

After installing NTVDMx64, I right click on my desktop and choose create shortcut. If the target is a windows program, it works fine. However, if the target is a 16bit program, the shortcut cannot be created. Maybe some file association bugs I guess?

Unable to create shortcuts to DOS programs is really annoying. Please fix this ASAP!

OS: Windows 10 22H2 NTVDM version: Latest CCPU build by 2024/04/11 Windows 3.x application support: Not installed Instead I used WineVDM for WOW32 support, it has better compatibility.

Note: I don't mind hacking and patching system files in windows using reverse engineering at all, and in fact I'm doing so on the system kernel already to load unsigned 64bit drivers. I care much more about freedom over security.
