Sounds like Unicode to me. Unicode uses 16bit wide characters, and if you're using English, you wouldn't use the second byte (making them all zeros). -Wayne Simmons -- Software Engineer InterSystems USA, Inc. 303-858-1000 ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jan Dubois Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 2:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: RE: Follow-up question regarding shortcut creation/change Win32::Shortcut is part of ActivePerl on Windows.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 30, 2007 12:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Follow-up question regarding shortcut creation/change Okay, gurus, you've helped me get this far, now.... Is there a WMI method to edit a desktop shortcut? Specifically, I need to change the argument string from an IP address to the DNS name the IP resolves to. For example, if the Target text of the shortcut is c:\foo\foo.exe 255.255.255.255 1024 I need to change the "argument" part so the Target text becomes (if that IP resolves to FOO15) c:\foo\foo.exe FOO15 1024 Is there a way to do this? Or is it possible to edit the .lnk file in Perl? It seems to be in binmode (I think?), and the argument part is interspersed with CHR(0)'s between every character...
