Default Can't open spreadsheet via shortcut

Example: Suppose I have a shortcut that points to C:\Program Files\Test
Folder\abc.xls

When I try to open this via double clicking the shortcut, it fails. I get
an error message:

Cannot open "C:\Program" followed by
Cannot open "Files\Test" followed by
Cannot open "Folder\abc.xls"

I can open this file directly by navigating to it using the Open menu. I
cannot open the file by navigating to it in Windows explorer and double
clicking it, same error as above. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Stuart
