MrBo Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 So creating a Windows shortcut is easy enough to do. But is there a simple way of extracting the data from a windows shortcut (LNK file) using AutoIT? I have searched through the forums, and on google, but have yet to find a method to do this (well - one that doesn't involve C++ programing knowledge) I know I can execute a LNK using ShellExecute, but for my project, I would prefer to be able to call the EXE directly (and be able to pull the icon for the program also) Can anyone shed any light on if this is possible?

smashly Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hi, in AutoIt help file under "File, Directory and Disk Magement" -> FileGetShortcut() function will give you exactly what you need. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
