Tablet won't open Dropbox shortcuts w/ .lnk

Hi, I found a thread on these forums where someone had a similar problem, but it turned out they didn't do their shortcuts correctly in the first place. The source file is absolutely on Dropbox, I created a shortcut and cut/pasted to the home screen/parent folder on Dropbox. All opens fine on PC and laptop. But Asus tablet lists the shortcuts with ".lnk" after the name and 'shortcut' extension. Says it can't open them and I need to download an app to open them. ??? I tried renaming and made certain the files are located in a subfolder on Dropbox. I can open the original doc just fine, but not the shortcut.

Any ideas of what the hey is up?

Many thanks!
