I don't use Windows but a shortcut cannot be used as a directory. If you want to use another directory instead of the users appdata directory you'll need to create a symlink to the target with the mklink command. TV-Browser is only doing what it has to do to store it's settings in the user settings directory. How the underlying file system is handling the used Java commands is entirely up to the file system itself. So if your shortcut is replaced with an actual directory Windows handles it that way, when Java want's to store files there. If the directory is a symlink Windows would have to respect the target and store the files there.
