lnk batch

I would like to have a batch file that outputs the target and shortcut name of all shortcuts in a folder to a text file. Any help at all would be appreciated.

Hi

Try this:

Change the folder path (c:\ in my example) and file name (abc.txt) as in your PC.

Hope it helps?

Just to add that you should run the batch file in the same path where your .lnk files are or
change the folder path in wildcard e.g

dir c:\myFolder\*.lnk

the solution above will give the name but not the target path and I don't think this can be done via standard command prompt

I don't have time to work it out now but a VB script would probably be best to do this and if I get a chance later I will try to work out some code for you.

re: lnk batch

I have stuck together some code below , please note that there is no error checking so unless you are using this yourself you may want to add some

to use it just create a file called <something>.vbs ( with the <something> as whatever you want to call it ) and then past the code in and run it and it will generate a text file ( c:\output.txt )

it has been pieced together a bit so you may be able to tidy it up and also may want to change the formating as you require
