Originally I needed to create a Windows shortcut (link), and this code does the trick, requiring only the target filename and the desired shortcut name. Now, I find I need to open a shortcut and extract the target filename, and I don't have a clue how that is achieved. To be clear, I mostly don't understand the gory (Windows API) details of this code. So, can...

I have developed a Windows application in Visual Studio .NET 2003 and created a Setup project for it.

In the User interface, I have added a screen with a checkbox that asks the user...

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,...
