Getting File Target

[Sparrowlord]

When you right click a shortcut and go to properties there is a line that says "Taget: "

How would I be able to find the target? I look in the help file but I don't know if it is under something different that I don't know about.

Look at the FileGetShortcut() function in the helpfile. The example even gives the target you are requesting.

If you mean finding control id, class, classname etc of the "target" control. Then use AU3Info, available from the tools drop down menu in SciTE.

I was actually talking about getting this:

Wow...must be a run on Windows Lnk's today...better get 'ur order in early...

See this...(someone else had a question about links so this is still in clip...talk about lazy...

Looking at that, you can see how to get the specific info your looking for...but as for specifics, I'd defer to someone who has more experiance with IShellLink than I.

The Kandie Man was right, as per the AutoIt help files examples slightly modified

FileCreateShortcut(@WindowsDir & "\Explorer.exe",@DesktopDir & "\Shortcut Test.lnk",@WindowsDir,"/e,c:\", "This is an Explorer link;-)", @SystemDir & "\shell32.dll", "^!t", "15", @SW_MINIMIZE)

; Read in the path of a shortcut
$array = FileGetShortcut(@DesktopDir & "\Shortcut Test.lnk")

$j = ""
$j &= "Shortcut target path: " & $array[0] & @CRLF
$j &= "Working directory: " & $array[1] & @CRLF
$j &= "Arguments: " & $array[2] & @CRLF
$j &= "Description: " & $array[3] & @CRLF
$j &= "Icon filename: " & $array[4] & @CRLF
$j &= "Icon index: " & $array[5] & @CRLF
$j &= "The shortcut state: " & $array[6] & @CRLF & @CRLF
$j &= "Target = " & $array[0] & " " & $array[2]

MsgBox(0, "Path:", $j)
