Hello, I'm trying to get the target filename of windows shortcuts. The
code below works great for regular shortcuts, but errors out on "folder
shortcuts". (for what I mean, see:
https://superuser.com/questions/456399/what-different-types-of-shortcut-are-there/639967#639967)
The code below works great for regular .lnk shortcuts, but folder
shortcuts give me:
[...]
persistFile.Load(fname,STGM_READ)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147024891, 'Access is denied.', None, None)
The quirk with folder shortcuts is they have some DOS attributes set,
which I suspect could be causing me trouble. Is there, perhaps,
something I need to do to get my IPersistFile to ignore file attributes?
Or is this error a result of something else?
----- teh code
def linkinfo(path):
"""

path=os.path.abspath(path)
targetPath=path
fname=path
