Years ago I wrote a program to read .lnk files, modify the data and rewrite
the file.
I modified it slightly and used it for .pif files.
I can't find it nor can I find the API calls I used.
Can you direct me to some info on this subject?
thanks

If you're using C/C++, why not use the quite-standard and portable
fopen/fread/fwrite/fclose functions? If the files are text, then you
can use fopen/fgets/fprintf/fclose.

You must use COM to manage IShellLink (using for that CLSID_ShellLink und IID_IShellLink)
Take a look that (be careful, the address is too long and may appear cut) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ll_int_program

Can anyone say something about .pif files.
They appear to be managed with the same API calls
I have some old ones that are less than 300 bytes long.
If I use a program I found that reads .LNK files it reads the .pif file ok
except it misses the command line.
If I use explorer to show the properties, when I close the properties the
file it is recreated as over 2000 bytes long. I think the original was 8-bit
character strings and the new on still contains that but adds 16-bit
character strings.
Does anyone know anything about any of this??

Hi,
I have these string data: str_data1, str_data2, str_data3, which capture
some value after a routine process A. Then I would like to write (append)
these 3 string values into a text file each time after routine process A,
the text file is named "mytext.dat" in following format with "#####" as
separator.
The maximum entries of them is 5. When reaching the fifth entry, it will
delete the very first entry.
