Hi,

In Word and Excel 2003 when we save files then a .lnk file is created in the
same directory as the source file.  These files are useless for two reasons:

1) They're in the same directory as the original .doc or .xls files which have
Word and Excel associated with them respectively.

2) On a standard Debian Lenny machine running Gnome the .lnk files aren't
recognised by any apps and won't cause Word or Excel to run.

I've searched around the place to see if we can turn this "feature" off, but
haven't found anything.  Is this possible?  If not, could this please be added.
