Environment: Windows 10, Version 1903 (both 32 and 64 bit); TC 9.22a (both 32 and 64 bit)
Scenario:
1. Create a shortcut LinkToC.lnk (Target: C:\ directory)
2. Move the LinkToC.lnk file to the C:\Test\ folder.
3. Add the folder C:\Test to the archive file test.zip or test.7z
4. Using TC 9.22a, click test.zip or test.7z, go to the LinkToC.lnk file inside the archive file.
5. When I click on the LinktoC.lnk file, I see the Dialog Box "Properties of packed file".
6. Click the "Unpack and execute" button, and you will get the message: "No program associated with ... LinktoC.lnk!"
When I click LinktoC.lnk file inside test.zip using Windows 10 native File Explorer, everything works fine (I was moved to the C:\ folder)
Thanks

Confirmed.
And I think it ought to work in TC too.

Re: Shortcuts (LNK-files) inside archives don't work
This is currently not supported. Why? lnk files within zips probably link to things within that zip (e.g. because it's a backup of a program folder), so it wouldn't make much sense to try to execute them.
