B4J Question How to get the directory of a exefile shortcut.lnk

[teddybear]

I have built a exefile and put its shortcut.lnk into my work dir(the dir is a variable). I startup the app using the shortcut and how can I get the current dir ( it may be in anywhere)?

I dont think that the current dir is part of a lnk-File.

See this java-Code: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/309495/windows-shortcut-lnk-parser-in-java

What are you trying to archieve?

You can get the Path of the exe with

dim parent as string =  File.GetFileParent(filename)

Thanks for your reply. I can get the exefile's parent dir, but I don't know the path of the exefile's shortcut.lnk, the place of shortcut.lnk is uncertain.
