Could anyone who's running Windows 10 try running the following command from the "Run" dialog and let me know the results?
rundll32.exe appwiz.cpl,NewLinkHere %USERPROFILE%\Desktop
On my machine, and on every other machine I've tried it on, it pops up the "create shortcut" dialog[^].
But a user in QA is insisting that it doesn't work on any of his computers, and is demanding that I remove my "incorrect" answer.
Also, if someone more diplomatic than me would like to join the conversation[^]...

Thanks for trying it. Which build of Windows? And was it an upgrade, or a fresh install?

I can confirm, it Shows a dialogue "create shortcut". Tested in a virtual W10 machine.

Richard invited people "more diplomatic than himself" to join the discussion. On that ground I have to recuse myself.

feel free to do it. You are for me not the "...Mark Wallace is a fictional character ..." more a "Mark Wallace is a f... character"

Whoa there, lighten up Francis.

OK.
Swedish sense of humour.
I don't get it.
Mind you, it can't be as weird as the Finnish...

Oh, I see what you're doing, but it either needs to use more carefully sculpted words, or be audio/visual. It ain't hitting the spot that you were aiming at.

He's not even Swedish.
Then again, I am, and I don't get it most of the time.

Welcome to English humour.
I was going to call him German, but that would have been too obvious, and a lot of people (from everywhere except Sweden and Switzerland) mix them up, so I went with that.

I guessed as much, it was mostly the second sentence I wanted to point out.
Swedish humour is mostly aiming for embarrassment, which isn't my cup of tea. But as you might imagine, the Office is mighty popular here.

Mark, If you don't watch out, I will say something nice about China. What will you do then? Huh? What will you do then?

The people or the government?

Even if you don't understand, I'm sure Mark does. His wife is from China as far as I know. I've been to China - even deep into the Hebei province, as well as Beijing and the Great Wall. Fascinating country!
