Does anyone know if there are any API functions that enable me to do the following:-

1. Create, edit and query the properties of a windows shortcut file ('.lnk' file as appears on desktop)

2. Create, edit and query the properties of an internet shortcut file ('.url' file as appears in "c:\windows\favourites...")

I already have a third party DLL that allows me to do point number 1 above but would like to know how the underlying code works. I have no current way of acheiving point number 2.

Thanks.
