I apologize for this string of messages,
but the stress of shame forced my brain to think real hard :-)
Here is finally the solution that works:

Instead of the shortcut, one can use a script (text file with .vbs
extension).
One only has to modify the full path to the BlackBox.exe.
Everything else is as described in the first message:
drop a copy of this script to any directory, etc.

Sorry for the three messages where one would have sufficed.

cheers

Follows the content of the script:
