How to get UNC Path from Folder Shortcuts

I am using the BrowseFolderDia log control in a Winform app to get a user selected path. Under Network Places, there are Folder Shortcuts to network resources. If a user selects one of these Folder Shortcuts, the returned SelectedPath property is set to "C:\Documen ts and Settings\<usern ame.domainname> \NetHood\<short cut name>. The targets for these Folder Shortcuts are actual UNC paths. How can I access this target information within .Net. Thanks.

Oks, I know I'm going to seem completely stupid here but, I have a question thats been doing my head in for the last few hours. Basically, I'm trying to find a way to turn a folder and file path, from the path, to the actual URL. For example, if you were to type; Response.Write <a href=" & folder.name & ">" & folder.name & "</a>"

The problem started when the Working Folder for a project was somehow set to the folder of another project. I set the correct working folder in VSS and deleted the .vbproj files that had been created in the wrong folder on the hard drive. Before I discovered these files, .NET kept trying to create a new project with _1 following the project name. Deleting those files corrected that problem. I deleted the Virtual Directory, rebooted, and...

Hello. Ive got a VC++ program. Inside the program Ive got some code that has a full file path: C:\aa\bb\cc\dd\file.txt One of the folders in that path (cc) is a shortcut pointing to some other folder far away.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
