^^ You don't need to add any key under "lnk". Select "Lnk" key and in right-side pane, create a new String value and give it name "IsShortcut".

I clicked .lnk but under it i see 2 things. ShellEx and ShellNew. What i did was, i just clicked lnk and added IsShortcut. I did all that but my game still will not open. Am i suppose to add a value data? I did but even that didnt fix it.

Many thanks. I used a tweak utility on the Windows 7 beta and had this problem. Your solution fixed me right up.
