    Resolve the target of a shortcut.lnk file? [RESOLVED]

    Does anyone have a simple (black box) routine that can accept the path/name of a shortcut link file and return it's target path/name?

    I want to be able to drag/drop desktop shortcuts onto a VB app that will then process the underlying target file that the shortcut points to.

    I've been searching, but everything I've found is very convoluted.

    Thanks, DaveBo
