Is there a way to quickly get the Target name of a Folder or File Shortcut from the filename.LNK file? (Perhaps through the API) For example, when I right-click on a desktop shortcut and select properties, I can easily see the Target and the Targets container. Is there a way in VB to get these properties?
I know there is probably a very simple answer but I appreciate your help, and thanks!

If it helps, there is a property somewhere in Windows that relates to how they are used. For example, if you open a shortcut in a program, it will attempt to open the file that the shortcut links to, rather than the shortcut itself. You can turn this off, but I have forgotten how.
Not much use, just incase it proves usefull
Good luck,
