Hi,
Thank you for sending me the link. I tried it by copying the "shortcut_target(filename)" function into my script. But it does the same thing as I had mentioned in my previous e-mail. i.e It returns me the target path correctly if the target exists physically in my hard disk, but behaves in a wrongful manner if I delete the target keeping the shortcut intact (Broken shortcut). In that case it creates an empty file (0 size) with the same name as that of the existing target & creates it at the same physical location where the target was existing before. Looks like a bug in this function. I want to see it fail in that case or return something lie NONE , but it still returns me the target path.

Well I don't know if this was one of the solutions with which you were "not satisfied", but it does at least have the merit of working: http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/read-a-shortcut.html TJG _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
