My post was deleted, so I'll rephrase it. After a little time, two of the shortcuts I've created using this method disappeared, became white papers. After restarting the computer, only one remained with its original icon. After updating the only one who still had its icon, it completely disappeared (not leaving just a white paper, completely vanished from the desktop). This is a very failed solution; it's very difficult to find out and it only works for a little time. Hope my comment is not deleted again without an explanation.
