Some user have in the Windows Properties starting path the local C:, and others have a network path. The application handles this, but I need to capture the Target drive, and sys(3) doesn't work for this. Is there another sys() function that'll pick up the target?

JUSTPATH(FULLPATH(SYS(16,0))) if you can get at the source. Just chop off the file name and extension. You could use JUSTDRIVE(), but if there are any UNC references, there may not be a drive letter attached.

If you need to inspect shortcuts, use the WSH Wscript.Shell object's CreateShortcut method to open up the existing shortcut. CreateShortcut returns a shortcut object; the object's TargetPath property will give you the base command line, and the WorkingDirectory property returns the Startup directory for the application.
