If you try to solve the Drive\Path\Program to a .lnk file only using KixTart, you should try this:

code:

---

BREAK ON
$Dir = "D:\temp\test"
$Links = "$Dir" + "\*.lnk"
$Program = "vncviewer.exe" ; Include drive and path in searchstring if you can
;$Program = %WINDIR% + "vncviewer.exe" ; Include drive and path for program in searchstring, if you know it
$Found = 0
$FileName = DIR("$Links")
WHILE $FileName <> "" And @ERROR = 0 And $Found = 0
   IF OPEN(1, "$Dir" + "\$Filename") = 0
      $Content = ""
      $Line = READLINE(1)
      WHILE $Line And @ERROR = 0
         $Content = $Content + $Line
         $Line = READLINE(1)
      LOOP
      $Err = CLOSE(1)
      IF InStr($Content, $Program)
         DEL $Dir + "\" + $FileName
         IF @ERROR <> 0
            ?" Didn't manage to dele the link [" + $Dir + "\" + $FileName + "]"
         ENDIF
         $Found = -1
      ENDIF
   ENDIF
   DIR()  ; retrieve next file
LOOP

---

If for some reason the EOF character should appears in the midle of a .lnk file, you have to use cj's suggestions, it
could be the reason for the failing of your own script!
