Shortcut problem

[Nicolas Van Eenaeme]

Hi,

I need a way to get the full path from a windows shortcut (.lnk) file. I tried with opening the file as CFile and with ReadString but I think it's coded. Please help me, I realy need this.

Thanks,

Nicolas

There is an article in the "Shell Programming" section, entitled

"Getting Shortcuts (.lnk) - Target and Arguments". I think that might be

what you are looking for.

Use the IShellLink interface. It has various methods for dealing with .lnk files
