CreateShortcut fails

Hi

Im using the following code to create a shortcut on one of out network
drives.

WshShell shell = new WshShell();
IWshShortcut link = shell.CreateShortcut(myURL) as IWshShortcut;
link.WindowStyle = 1;
link.TargetPath = TargetURI;
link.IconLocation = @"%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll, 85";
link.Save();

It creates the link well enough, but i seem to have some kind of
problem. When the users try to open the link, it starts the "Open
with..." window. It should just open the network folder it links to.

What i need it to do is to create a link from my code on one server
and placeing the link on another.

I have been trying several things and everything is fine when i create
the link locally or from a 32 bit server. But from a 64 bit to a 32
bit (my situation) is does not work.
The strange part is if I open the properties of the link and change
the simplest of things and apply them, it works all of a sudden.
Can someone help me???
