I copied the script you linked to into the body of your post to make it easier for people reading your answer. Did you write the script or find it?

Is this their idea of security or something? The sketchy looking path is actually where that shortcut is pointing.
It seems that Microsoft doesn't really want users accessing or messing around in this folder. And why would they? On that note, the "really ugly obfuscation" is called a GUID. Essentially, it's nothing more than a long, random set of letters and numbers that needs to be unique.
In this case, it's acting as a program id number; each piece of software installed gets assigned one, and windows creates a subdirectory with that id number to hold things it would need for uninstallation such as the uninstall exe.
So why do some shortcuts point to such a highly protected part of your OS? For some small, fully contained pieces of software, the devs decided to use the installer folder to hold the ACTUAL program. In these instances, the shortcuts for the program still have to point to the exe, so their target gets set to a location within the normally inaccessible Installation folder.
Apparently, the Windows devs noticed this enough to create a special case to hide the target in the shortcut properties dialog, but didn't make one in Explorer's Link Target column.
On my W7pro system every "Link target" is displayed empty. Shortcuts work though as desired. And also, what upsets me, is that the properties window does not provide the mean to "find the target" in the General or in the Details tab.
