Solve : Copy Files That Shortcut links Point To..????

Answer»

Is there any way read a shortcut.lnk file and then copy the file its pointing to, into another directory..??

so SAY like DOC123.lnk exists in folder "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\RECENT\" and it points to "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Desktop\DOC123.RTF"
is there anyway to read that shortcut.lnk file then copy the file it points to, into another directory, then delete that shortcut.lnk file..??Code: [Select]@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

REM easier to decode lnk files in vbs

REM Create vbs in current folder
echo set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")>GetLnkTarget.vbs
echo set Lnk = WshShell.CreateShortcut(WScript.Arguments.Unnamed(0))>>GetLnkTarget.vbs
echo wscript.Echo Lnk.TargetPath>>GetLnkTarget.vbs

REM set destination folder
set destinationfolder=C:\my path\my folder

REM for each lnk file in current folder...
for /F "delims=" %%L in ('dir /A-D /b /s *.lnk') do (

REM get lnk file drive letter:\path\name.ext into variable
set linkfilename=%%~dpnxL

REM call vb script which READS shortcut.lnk file & echoes TARGET filename
for /f "delims=" %%T in ('cscript //nologo GetLnkTarget.vbs "!linkfilename!"') do (

REM get target file drive letter:\path\name.ext into variable
set linkfiletarget=%%~dpnxT

REM copy the file it points to, into another directory
REM remove "echo" when you are happy it works
echo copy "!linkfiletarget!" "%destinationfolder%"

REM delete shortcut.lnk file
REM remove "echo" when you are happy it works
echo del "!linkfilename!"
)
