FileOpenDialog function displays internet shortcuts

[DLilienthal]

The FileOpenDialog function seems to display internet shortcuts regardless of the filters used. Is this the expected behavior or a bug?

The help file example below references the desktop instead of the Windows folder since I have some internet shortcuts there.

I am running Windows 11Pro 23H2.

#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
        ; Create a constant variable in Local scope of the message to display in FileOpenDialog.
        Local Const $sMessage = "Hold down Ctrl or Shift to choose multiple files."

        ; Display an open dialog to select a list of file(s).
        Local $sFileOpenDialog = FileOpenDialog($sMessage, @DesktopDir & "\", "Images (*.jpg;*.bmp)|Videos (*.avi;*.mpg)", BitOR($FD_FILEMUSTEXIST, $FD_MULTISELECT))
        If @error Then
                ; Display the error message.
                MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "No file(s) were selected.")

                ; Change the working directory (@WorkingDir) back to the location of the script directory as FileOpenDialog sets it to the last accessed folder.
                FileChangeDir(@ScriptDir)
        Else
                ; Change the working directory (@WorkingDir) back to the location of the script directory as FileOpenDialog sets it to the last accessed folder.
                FileChangeDir(@ScriptDir)

                ; Replace instances of "|" with @CRLF in the string returned by FileOpenDialog.
                $sFileOpenDialog = StringReplace($sFileOpenDialog, "|", @CRLF)

                ; Display the list of selected files.
                MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "You chose the following files:" & @CRLF & $sFileOpenDialog)
        EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Thank you.

Testet in Win10 22H2
and it shows them to me, as well as shortcuts from folders.
maybe this is the logic, that the internet shortcut is just a location

I understand folders since a file may be located in a sub-folder, but shortcuts are usually not visible in a file open dialog.
