Install a short cut to data in "my document" with a InstallAllUsers install

Ihave install for all uses with data files being saved to "my documents\user data\". I have
1. Created a user data directory under "User's Personal Data Folder".
2. Created a shortcut by clicking on the "user data" directory.
3. Moved the shortcut to the "User's Desktop"

Now the infamus blue squiggly line shows up under the shortcut. What did I do wrong and what is the correct way to do this?

As far as I know, the blue squiggle is an indication that the item is specific to the installing user and therefore might not work properly when used by other users, depending on whether it's a Just me or Everyone install.

Does it work when you install it, or are you just worried about the squiggly line?

It works with very limited testing (my machine). This is my first setup project and do not want issues later, so right now I am just worried.
