Ok, before people send me code to add the create shortcut component, please don't.
I would be grateful if :
1, Anyone could tell me how I can access a shortcut once "run" to see it's "Target" i.e C:\windows\notepad.exe
2, Pass this "target" into a variable
3, How can I tell what shortcut has been run before it completes it's task

I am trying to add my application.exe to the beginning of the target box and so it can run the application which in turn will run the .EXE after I have done what I need to do with it. I really want to turn the "target" into a variable

Any help in either pointing me in the right direction or preferably in code and I would be truly grateful.

Steve.
