These would typically be shadows of Program Reference objects if created
by a sane installer.

These would be Program Reference objects. There's no such thing as a
template for a Program File object.

I would not have said there's a choice unless it existed. It appears you
are using Program Reference objects, but you can always check this
yourself if you care to know.

No and the defect you describe has nothing to do with lock in place or
shadows. Folks come up with strange ideas at times.
