desktop icons
I'm doing a new installer that will delete any old application on a user's computer. The user may have renamed the desktop icon for these older systems. Does anyone know of a way to to read the lnk files (shortcuts for the desktop) from the installer to find out what they launch?

Thanks in advance

Use the ShellLink plug-in to read those values from .lnk files.

A detailed example has been discussed here some time ago, and posted at wiki as well.
