Error creating a Shell Icon

Version 4.2.4 running on WinXPPro, Version 2002, SP3

I have created folders inside the WinSCP Login pane, these folders keep the session info for groups of servers.

If I try to create a Shell Icon for any of the sessions inside a session group folder, I get an error that the icon cannot be created.

Example:
Folder "test", session "test_admin"

It seems that the error is caused by trying to create an icon for session "test/test_admin", and the slash char inside that is an invalid char in a link description.

Creating a Shell Icon for sessions outside any session group folder is still OK.
