sending a Windows shortcut file

This might be a bit off topic but I was wanting to send a Windows
shortcut via email to certain folks here in the office but everytime I
try it sends the original instead of the shortcut. Then I tried sending
it from my Macintosh and that corrupted the shortcut file. Well, it
might have been the email that corrupted it, not the Mac.

What I'm wanting to do is to have all of our WinNT users create an
Emergency Repair Disk with the /s option and I thought the easiest way
to do that would be to make a shortcut for them since they all already
have the rdisk.exe program on their computers.

Then I was trying to figure out a way to create html code that would
allow them to click on a link that would then activate rdisk.exe with
the /s option. Instead it just tried to download the file.

Any suggestions?
