Lose the [] around everything and you should work great. also at the end of the .extract, I recommend putting a ",1" Example: .extract="C:Program FilesAIM95aim.exe",1

Give that a try, it should help.

*Shortcut "AIM" 0 0 .extract="C:Program FilesAIM95aim.exe",1 #1T "C:Program FilesAIM95aim.exe"

That should be what your line looks like. It seems that you are't using different images for the Mousover and Down states, so you can leave them out, as with the Sound.Wav parts, you aren't using any sounds, so you can leave them out. Anything you aren't going to use, leave out. The line above is just about the minimal things that are required for a shortcut to work.. although, it would still work if you left out the #1T(the shortcut group). Hope that helps.
