LNK files get their timestamp updated whenever they are executed

[Forez]

Issue:
When an LNK shortcut to an executable or script file is executed from FreeCommander, the Modified timestamp of this LNK gets unwantedly updated to current date and time

Symptoms:
● This does not happen when executing the very same LNK file from Windows Explorer, Dual Commander, XnView MP, Everything and other file handling programs
● Shortcuts pointing to folders do not change their timestamp - except when using the shell command >>Open in FreeCommander<<
● This has nothing to do with Settings - because things are the same when I am using default ones
● Sysinternals Process Monitor shows multiple CreateFile events and one WriteFile on an LNK performed by >>FreeCommander.exe<< during its execution - that WriteFile updates the Modified timestamp
● If an LNK file is set to read-only, then executing it from FreeCommander no longer changes its timestamp
● This started happening way back before I started using Build 912 64-bit Donor Portable and Build 901 32-bit Public Installed on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 x64 (10.0.19042) and continues now when using Build 946 64-bit Donor Portable and Build 941 32-bit Public Installed on Windows 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC 21H2 x64 (19044.6691)

Questions:
Why does FreeCommander write to the shortcut file when executing it, instead of apparently passing it directly to the shell like e.g. Windows Explorer does? And can this be changed / fixed with an update?

I am using some third party libraries. It happens in such library.
I think, I can fix it for the next release.
