   * that is named after the currently running application and current user, eg:
   * Firefox_user123_shortcuts.ini.
   *
   * For reasons that we haven't been able to pin down, these shortcuts get created with

   * the Windows ShellLink classes to improperly read their target path with certain
   * parameters. This causes any 32-bit programs that read the links (such as our
   * installer and uninstaller) to think that 64-bit installs are located in the 32-bit
   * Program Files directory.

   *        can be the same file as aBinary.

   *        that IShellLinkW requires, _not_ a Resource ID that is sometimes used
   *        for icons.
   * @param aAppUserModelId The App User Model ID to set for the shortcut. This will
   *        affect which icon on the Taskbar the application groups with when first
   *        launched.
   * @param aShortcutFolder The special Windows folder to create the shortcut in. One of:
   *        CommonStartMenu, StartMenu, PublicDesktop, Desktop, or QuickLaunch.
