long file name support depends on what version you use. Generally, if you enclose the path in quotes, it will work. If you can't use the long file name, you can use the 8.3 alias (xxxxxx~#.EXT, where xxxxxx is the first 6 letters of the file name, # is an index (each file with the same 6 letters each have a progressively higher index), and EXT is the first 3 letters of the extension. So "Eta Carinae's Future.lnk" would become "ETACAR~1.LNK").
As mentioned before, shortcuts have the hidden extension of LNK.
