Windows 10's ExplorerCommandHandler for permanent delete (GUID {E9571AB2-AD92-4ec6-8924-4E5AD33790F5}) doesn't work with the lnkfile registry class, causing "Interface not registered" errors. Windows 11 handles this correctly.

Changes

Added Win10-specific registry entry for lnkfile class in EnhanceMenusDic.xml:

<Group>
  <Text Value='lnk文件'/>
  <Text Value='lnk File'>
    <Culture>en-US</Culture>
  </Text>
  <RegPath>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile</RegPath>
  <Shell>
    <Item KeyName='Windows.PermanentDelete'>
      <OSVersion Compare="&gt;=">6.2</OSVersion>
      <OSVersion Compare="&lt;">10.0.22000</OSVersion>  <!-- Win10 only -->
      <Value>
        <REG_SZ MUIVerb='@shell32.dll,-37394' Icon='shell32.dll,-240'
                ExplorerCommandHandler='{E9571AB2-AD92-4ec6-8924-4E5AD33790F5}'/>
      </Value>
    </Item>
  </Shell>
</Group>

The entry mirrors the existing AllFilesystemObjects configuration but applies specifically to shortcuts on Windows versions >= 6.2 and < 10.0.22000 (Win8/8.1/10).

<issue_title>[Bug]: win10下 永久删除 对快捷方式的删除失效</issue_title>
<issue_description>在win10里面，永久删除 这个功能对快捷方式的删除好像是无效的。在win10里面，一个文本文档或者文件夹，或者任何一个文件，生成一个快捷方式，然后用右键生成的 永久删除 功能，来删除这个快捷方式的文件 ，会弹出一个对话窗口，提示 没有注册接口 ，不能删除。如果不是生成的快捷方式，随便什么文件，用 永久删除 功能 ，是可以的，没有问题。

这个右键 永久删除 功能，是在本软件的 其他规则 增强菜单 里面的 所有对象 这个里面的 永久删除功能添加的。

同样的方法，在win11里面，没有任何问题，生成任何的快捷方式，都可以用 永久删除 功能来删除。</issue_description>
