Shortcut Pointer

[scotland42]

Does anybody know how to query a shortcut (.lnk) to see where it is pointing? I'm trying to check if a file a shortcut points to exists.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

For Windows XP

Right-click the shortcut and then left-click on the properties at the bottom of the popup menu. Then click on Find Target... and finally you should see a path.

I was wondering if there was an automated way to do in in Autoplay.

You can give this a try, it's not pure AMS, but it serves the purpose.

Thank you worm!!! That work exactly as I would want it to. Just out of curiosity, did you write the dll yourself?

You're welcome.

And yes I did write the dll in PowerBASIC.
