I have a folder containing shortcuts to other folders around the network.
For each shortcut, I need to follow the "target" to the target folder and then check the "date of last update" of each of the files in the target folder.

However, I can not find out how to extract the "target" from the shorcut.

' use a (microsoft) scripting rumtime


    Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
     SHORTCUT = "c:\Lotus Notes 6.5.LNK"
    Set oShellLink = wshShell.CreateShortcut(SHORTCUT)
    starget = oShellLink.TargetPath
    MsgBox (starget)
