Oh, I see: if you may a shortcut to different types of executable, you get a different types of shortcuts.
In any case, try creating a shortcut to a data file (be it autoexec.bat or a Word document) and then try dragging it onto Notepad or Word, respectively.
I rest my case: if Win 95 doesn't know how to deal with shortcuts, I doubt vfat should try.
