Most probably, it tries to verify the destination, fails (because it doesn't
see share) and silently creates shorctcut with garbage in it instead of
telling you there was a problem. Not that I am much surprised :-)

'course not. Either you can browse or not.

Hmm ... Probably, if you can deny anonymous access to IPC$ share ... may be.
But that not the same. You will get error connecting to server - and here
you simply don't see share without any errors.
