Deleting Shortcuts
Hi
While creating shortcuts in my installer I ask the users if they want the shortcuts to be seen by them or by all users. This works fine , but when I am uninstalling the app how do I know where the the .lnk files were placed.Is there any support for this built into NSIS or do I have to store that infor in some nid of registry key.

Also is there a function avalable that will let me look at the details of a .lkn file, like getting the Target and Arguments


Thanks

You will have to store the link paths in the registry (or maybe an INI file).

I don't know how to read the attributes of a .lnk file. There's probably an Windows API to do this though, which would require the System Plugin DLL to call.

Use this plug-in to read .lnk files.
