Hi Ivo,
I belive it is *.lnk files I'm interested in.
For example:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Development\Winpdb\winpdb-homepage.lnk
points to http://www.digitalpeers.com/pythondebugger/
However, your code is returning an empty string for location.
lnk.GetPath(shell.SLGP_RAWPATH) returns the tuple:
('', (0, , ,
, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, '', ''))
Regards,
Richard Townsend

for a link (*.lnk) file:
from win32com.shell import shell
import pythoncom
import os, sys
class PyShortcut(object):
def __init__(self):
self._base = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(shell.CLSID_ShellLink,
None,
pythoncom.CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
shell.IID_IShellLink)
def load(self, filename):
self._base.QueryInterface(pythoncom.IID_IPersistFile).Load(filename)
def save(self, filename):
self._base.QueryInterface(pythoncom.IID_IPersistFile).Save(filename, 0)
def __getattr__(self, name):
if name != "_base":
return getattr(self._base, name)
if __name__=="__main__":
lnk = PyShortcut()
lnk.load("path to your shortcut file including the .lnk extention
even if you don't see it in windows")
print "Location:", lnk.GetPath(shell.SLGP_RAWPATH)[0]

if an *.url file just open it as a properties file (ConfigParser)
because it looks something like:
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://ivonet.nl/
IDList=
IconFile=http://ivonet.nl/favicon.ico
IconIndex=1
[{000214A0---C000-0046}]
Prop3=19,2

Resolving windows shortcut to url
If I have a windows shortcut to a URL, is there a way to get the URL in a Python app? I found some code that uses pythoncom to resolve shortcuts to local files, but I haven't found any examples for URLs. The PyWin32 help mentions the PyIUniformResourceLocator Object, but I couldn't find an example of how to use it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
