Answer:
Please refer also to: How to display all AutoRun Information
e.g.
ShowMessage( GetLinkInfo(TForm1.Handle, 'C:\ {Folder to Autostart} \Norton AntiVirus AutoProtect.Ink' ) );
function GetLinkInfo(WinhWnd:HWND;LnkObj:string):String;
var
hres : HRESULT;
psl : IShellLink;
ppf : IPersistFile;
wfd : Win32_Find_Data;
Path : array[0..MAX_PATH] of Char;
begin
result := '????';
//initializes the Component Object Model(COM) library
CoInitialize(nil);
// Call CoCreateInstance to obtain the IShellLink Interface pointer.
hres:=CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ShellLink, nil,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IShellLinkA, psl);
if NOT SUCCEEDED(hres) then exit;
// The IShellLink Interface supports the IPersistFile
// interface. Get an interface pointer to it.
hres:=psl.QueryInterface(IID_IPersistFile,ppf);
if SUCCEEDED(hres) then begin
// Convert the given link name string to wide character string.
// and Load the file.
hres:=ppf.Load(StringToOLEStr(LnkObj),STGM_READ);
if SUCCEEDED(hres) then begin
// Resolve the link by calling the Resolve() interface function.
hres:=psl.Resolve(WinhWnd,SLR_ANY_MATCH OR SLR_NO_UI);
if SUCCEEDED(hres) then begin
hres:=psl.GetPath(Path,MAX_PATH,wfd,SLGP_SHORTPATH);
if SUCCEEDED(hres) then result:=Path;
end;
end;
end;
end;
