Make sure you have an up-to-date version of MDAC installed. You can get it
from http://www.microsoft.com/data/mdac2.htm.

Yes they do, but they are not regular shortcuts. They point to hidden

'install on first use' and application advertising which are new Win2K
things (though aren't used by pgAdmin yet).
