I would presume and hope that this is a "display only" issue. +# .vbs failure + +I copied the `git-annex.lnk` out of my admin user's start menu onto my desktop and double clicked it. `wscript.exe` got stuck in a loop where new copies were being spawned over and over again (and old copies dieing at the same rate). + +I think I know why. `git-annex.exe` isn't on the path... but `git-annex.lnk` is in the CWD (Desktop in this case).
