It seems a Windows shortcut is crucial to reproducing the original problem, if it is, the handler for the Start button could show an error message about this fact.

Perhaps, if this link cannot be converted to a file in `MyThread` constructor, `FileNotFoundException` should be propagated and caught in the Start button actionPerformed handler to show an error message and let the tester use another Windows shortcut.
