Launch properties dialog for a shortcut
Keywords: Launch properties dialog shortcut
Question:
Is there a way to launch the Windows properties dialog on a selected shortcut within WinBatch? I am working on a network upgrade and I need to be able to modify the shortcuts and change the target location. We have over 1000 PCs to modify and I want to automate the process as much as possible. I am trying to avoid writing my own shortcut properties edit program since Windows has already done the work. I want to be able to locate the shortcuts in WinBatch and then launch the properties dailog so I can make changes.Answer:
The following should do it:lnkfile="C:\BizDocs\Incoming\a.wbt.lnk" ShellExecute(lnkfile,"","",@normal,"Properties") WinWaitClose... ; to wait for the properties dialog to close
