Question regarding shortcuts.
Can somebody explain the following?
I use TightVNC remote desktop to see other computers.
When you first connect you have to start VNCViewer.exe and enter the IP address or name of the other computer then you can store this as a shortcut.
Subsequently all you have to do is to click on this shortcut to establish a connection - very convenient.
The shortcut produced has a file name like of 123.234.345.456.vnc
When I examine the shortcut with notepad I see it is like a batch file containing the IP address and port and other parameters but no mention of the VNCViewer.exe file needed to start it.
How does this work? Has VNC somehow also made an entry in the registry that treats the shortcut like an executable or is there other hidden code in the shortcut that notepad won't reveal?
