Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Hello,

Could the LNK file-type/mime-type be added please.  "file" regonises it.

$ file minibrowser.lnk
minibrowser.lnk: MS Windows shortcut

WINE has code to parse a LNK file if you need some more info:
http://source.winehq.org/source/tools/winedump/lnk.c

This is the first few lines of a LNK file I came accross

00000000  4c 00 00 00 01 14 02 00  00 00 00 00 c0 00 00 00  |L...............|

Hi, I was also interested with the mime type and file identification being added, at present it is Unknown. The bug 85348 is more about use of the LNK files transparently in KDE as I understand it.
