"In computing, a file shortcut is a handle in a user interface that allows the user to find a file or resource located in a different directory or folder from the place where the shortcut is located.

Shortcuts are typically implemented as a small file containing a target URI or GUID to an object, or the name of a target program file that the shortcut represents. The shortcut might additionally specify parameters to be passed to the target program when it is run. Each shortcut can have its own icon. Shortcuts are very commonly placed on a desktop, in an application launcher panel such as the Microsoft Windows Start menu, or in the main menu of a desktop environment. ...
File shortcuts (also known as shell links) were introduced in Windows 95. Microsoft Windows uses .lnk as the filename extension for shortcuts to local files, and .URL for shortcuts to remote files, like web pages. Commonly referred to as "shortcuts" or "link files", both are displayed with a curled arrow overlay icon by default, and no filename extension. ...
Shortcut files can be used to launch programs in minimized or maximized window states if the program supports it. ...
Beginning with Windows 7, some shortcuts also store Application User Model IDs (AppUserModelIDs). Instead of the target command line, AppUserModelIDs may directly be used to launch applications. Shortcuts with AppUserModelIDs are used by some desktop programs and all WinRT Modern apps for launching." [File shortcut. Wikipedia]

"A message dialog is an overlay UI element that provides a stable and contextual surface that is always modal and explicitly dismissed. Message dialogs appear at a consistent location on the screen. ...
Error messages that apply to the overall app context use message dialogs. ...
- Use message dialogs to convey urgent information that the user must see and acknowledge before continuing. ...
- Use message dialogs to present blocking questions that require the user's input. A blocking question is a question where the application cannot make a choice on the user's behalf, and cannot continue to fulfill it's value proposition to the user. A blocking question should present clear choices to the user. It is not a question that can be ignored or postponed.
- Use message dialogs to ask for explicit action from the user or to deliver a message that is important for the user to acknowledge. ...
- Use custom dialogs when the app or the system must invest a significant amount of time in the ensuing actions such that an accidental dismiss would be detrimental to the user's confidence.
- All dialogs should clearly identify the user's objective in the first line of the dialog's text (with or without a title).
- Don't use message dialogs when the app needs to confirm the user's intention for an action that the user has taken. Instead, a flyout is the appropriate surface. ...
- Don't use message dialogs for errors that are contextual to a specific place on the page, such as validation errors (in password fields, for example), use the app's canvas itself to show inline errors." [msdn.microsoft.com/ en-us/ library/ windows/ apps/ hh738363.aspx]
