An Internet Shortcut opens the default application for that protocal. You 
can argue about it all you want but FTP is nothing like file sharing. You 
could argue that HTTP is just like browsing your harddrive, that don't make 
it so, and IE doesn't handle them the same way, the browser isn't used for 
that, the explorer shell is. You can use FTP over your local network, that 
don't make FTP the same as file sharing. You can even file share with an 
FTP site but it doesn't use FTP to do that.
