I want to get the URL from a shortcut, read from the favorites folder. Can
anyone tell me how to do it? The purpose is to be able to browse to the URL
programmatically, and also to extract the domain and other information.

TIA

These shortcuts are INI files. Here is a sample:

[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.google.com/
 
Thanks very much for the quick reply.
