Copy Shortcut

[Martin]

Hello,

I have the following code which works fine to copy files:

Dim SourceFile, DestinationFile, Username

SourceFile = "\\[MyServer]\[MyFolder]\[MyFileName].[extension]"
DestinationFile = "c:\Temp\[MyFileName].[extension]"

FileCopy SourceFile, DestinationFile

However I want to copy a Windows shortcut file and this doesnt have an
extension so when I run this it states it can't find the file however the
shortcut is there.

Can anyone help on this? I have tried to find a extension for shortcuts but
there doesnt seem to be one?

Many thanks in advance

Martin

Carefully check the Properties window, and you will find they have a
..lnk extension.
