// Description
link.Description = "Some Microsoft Access application.";
// Hot Key
// If unset, 'None' will appear in properties. Setting to 'None' raises an
// exception. Setting to an empty string causes the property to appear
// empty. It doesn't seem possible to clear the hot key of an existing
// shell link and return the property display to 'None'.

// Icon
// It seems the icon image is embedded in the shell link. If the icon
// location is removed, the shell link maintains its face.
