I was wondering if anyone here knows how to "gut" a windows link file. Meaning, how do I get the values out of it like Icon, the file it's linked to, etc. Any language aside from ASM is fine.

This should show you the Format for a .lnk file.

I get something like a 404 there :/
isn't it possible to just look at a .lnk file witha text or hex editor?

Hex prolly but I can't understand much of that.

hexeditors are cool if you know how to use them

Kagez, yes a Text editor or Hex editor would work, but thats a manual way, he wanted a way to do it from a program, hence you would need to understand the format of a link file.

Its got direct link protection, get the Shortcut one.
