A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
On calling JFileChooser and navigating to a link (shortcut) on WIndows Vista the following error is thrown (NetBeans IDE displayed it:)

Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.InternalError: Unable to bind C:\Users\David JL Gradwell\Desktop\General Filing on HILLHOUSESERVER.lnk to parent
        at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2$4.call(Win32ShellFolder2.java:400)

The call works fine (exact same compilation) when run on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.

The JFileChooser then will not navigate properly and the user has to close the window and restart.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run a program that calls JFileChooser.
Navigate to a link (shortcut) and attempt to follow it.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Error as above.
