I am trying to grab the target value in a .lnk file and have tried using the methods specified in an older post here on StackOverflow:
Unfortunately the code does not seem to work on some lnk files. The sample of the .lnk I am testing this on is this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c start test.vbs&start explorer GRE&exit
The value that is being returned is always null. Any suggestions?
The mentionned solution allos one to process .lnk files the same way symbolic links are processed on Linux. But the .lnk file you're showing there do not open a file : it instead executes some commands and return the result. This will require a different kind of processing. In fact, you'll have to modify the lnk parser to detect if file is in fact a command, then run that command and grab the command result.
in other words : here you don't want to open a file, but launch a command, which, under Windows, OS, is not the same kind of operation.
