Certain shortcuts dont work in Launchy (Windows 7)

Certain shortcuts dont work in Launchy (Windows 7) I'm using Launchy with Windows 7, but I've noticed that certain short cut's don't work with Launchy - the icon appears as the generic application icon and the application fails to start.

"This is due to launchy being an x86 application. Because of that, when it tries to execute a program from the ""Program Files"" folder, the path is transformed into ""Program Files (x86)"" and then it fails because the program is not there.

See this post for more information:

Apart from using the x64 beta version, you can use a workaround: create a wsh script that runs your program, and make the shortcut link to that file."
