must be a different problem, i can't reproduce this. please tell me what you did exactly so i can try to reproduce it.

OS = Windows 7 Ulitamate & vista Ultamate


Step one install

open shell object editor

Create new

enter name - Firefox

enter description Mozilla

checked allow users to rename in explorer

Next

hit shellobject should behave like a program

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

set icon to firefox.exe ,0

access = all users

position Desktop

special flags
selected all check boxes

Finish
close

dl click Explorer.EXE Unexpected Error

I do have the exact same problem.

Windows 7 Ultimate installed (x86)

On a clean, updated windows7 install i do the following:

Install ShellObjectEditor 3.21
Click "create new"
write name "test"
write tooltip "test"
click "next"
select "shellobject behave like program"
write "notepad.exe" or browse to "%windir%\system32\notepad.exe"
select "install for all users" (also tried with only for this user)
position select: "desktop"
click "next"
special flags (have also tried with all off, all on)
select: "allow delete","enable property sheet"
click "finish"

The new shell object gets displayed in the program
Then it also appears on the desktop (some times i need to refresh(F5) others it appears right away)

Doubleclick it and I get an EXPLORER.EXE error
"Unspecified Error"

Creating FOLDER desktop objects to both C: and D: works fine!
Only thing is, if I click a desktop OBJECT SHORTCUT, then the shortcut opens to the folder it was set to open, then, while in that folder, i cannot create any new folders.. I must manually navigate to it, to be able to do that, or go into a subfolder, then create a folder, cut it, and move back to the root folder, and paste it...

afaik the shell object editor does no longer work under windows 7, although i havn't tried it yet. links to folders can be done via the integrated "libraries" in the explorer, works quite well. shell objects which are programs can't be done that way, unfortunately.
