VBScript to extract LNK properties

[johnlopez2000]

I have been looking on the MSDN website for a wscript code frag to extract the WshShell Shortcut target path from an existing shortcut.

does anyone know how to do this? MSDN is a dead end.

thanks!

Thanks - found this one before.

I want to QUERY the info from an existing shortcut, not create a new one.

Thanks

Reread carefully the page !

Creates a new shortcut, [!]or opens an existing shortcut[/!]
