Solve : Editing .lnk files?

Answer»

Hi All,

Is it at all possible to edit a .lnk file from a CMD window ?
Or must one edit the LINK via a r/click of the object ...
Start > All Programs > Startup > Monitor Apache Servers ... and select PROPERTIES, then edit.

The link "Monitor Apache Servers.lnk" is located in ...
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Am creating process for the install and rollback (if req.) of Apache installations.
There is currently a startup of the ApacheMonitor, who's directory will change with each VERSION of the installation. This is perhaps against the grain so to speak, but it allows us to maintain n+ versions of Apache on the SYSTEM and have the ApacheMonitor run from the version of our choice.

Hope the above is understandable.Apache OWNS! I'm afraid editing the .ink file won't accomplish what you want as it is only a shortcut to launching the program itself.
Maybe a script will do what you want to accomplish.
Have you checked the Apache Help files ? ?Yes, Apache OWNS the CREATION of the shortcut IF you happen to have installed an MSI binary package.
Not so (so I've seen) if you install a ZIP'd binary distribution.

But thanks for the input. Had decided to manually make changes to the shortcut as required.
