Read the target of a shortcut
Hi,
Is there a way to read the target of a shortcut? Basically, I want to retrieve the directory of the target of a shortcut.

for example, I can create shortcuts
CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\My Software\MyProgram\Run Program.lnk" "$INSTDIR\myProgram.exe" "" "$INSTDIR\icon.ICO"

I would like get the target of the link "Run Program.lnk".

TIA

K
