shortcuts with no target

Hi,
I notice that vista has made some shortcut folders as placeholder
for
previous XP folders. For instance:
C:/Application Data
If I look at the properties for that shortcut, it is type folder wit
no target.
That all makes sense.

But I see another shortcut at:
C:/ProgramData/Application Data
That shortcut is type folder, but it has a target of "C:/Program Data"
And, when opening that shortcut you get into an endless loop. :-(
And causes my script to endlessly drill down.
This is a 1 month old vista home laptop.
I believe it should be a shortcut with type folder and no target.
Is that correct?
If so, how would I create such a shortcut?
I suppose I could copy the C:/Application Data shortcut?
thanks,
gordo
