You can use the Windows Script Host for this. See the second in the series of articles on the WSH that the late Ed Rauh and I wrote (Oct., 2000). It's available on-line at www.vfug.org.

If the WSH is not an option, download my LNKFILES.DLL in the download section. The include help file (with VFP syntax) will show you how to do this. FILE#9419.
