Showing strage target file path for .lnk files please help...
Hi,
I came across very strage behavior of Windows. I have many OS installed on my system. When I login into XP which is installed on F: drive, and see the target path for a shortcut which was made in another OS, it shows F:\ drive in target path which is supposed to be D:\ .
And when I try to run this shortcut, it automatically changes its target path to D:\ and runs the program.
It is really strage behavior of Windows. I am programatically finding the target of shortcuts using file scripting object, it also shows the same value as that windows dialog after right clikcing shows.
What to do for this, how I will get the correct path for shortcuts which was made under another OS.
Please help me...

If the Target path is F, check the "Start In" path its probably D. the start in path is the Working directory for the program to "start in". ;)
