Gaven, you mentioned shell.application as a possible option ? Heres something cobbled together from bits and pieces of this and that ...

btw, unless i read you wrong and your not looking for shell.application, go easy on me ? [Wink] 


break on

$FOLDER = "F:\"
$SHORTCUT = "NOTEPAD.LNK"

$objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

$objFolder2 = $objShell.NameSpace($FOLDER)

if ($objFolder2)
       
 $objFolderItem = $objFolder2.ParseName($SHORTCUT)

 if ($objFolderItem)
                
  $objLink = $objFolderItem.GetLink

  if ($objLink)
   ?"Shortcut: $SHORTCUT"?
   ?"Arguments=" $objLink.Arguments
   ?"Description=" $objLink.Description
   ?"Path=" $objLink.Path
   ?"ShowCommand=" $objLink.ShowCommand
   ?"Target=" $objLink.Target
   ?"WorkingDirectory=" $objLink.WorkingDirectory

  endif

 endif

endif
