Re: lnk file

It is archaic, but my guess is it's been that way since 3.1, and since MS
likes to maintain backward compatibility, that's just how it is. I don't
know if they're used, as I've never really tried deviating from the right
mechanism. My guess is that it was a provision to allow LNK files to have
more data than just the file path.

Chris,

Any idea what they're required/used for? And, let's say the numbers are
wrong, will anything break? Are those characters there so that more
'data' can be placed after the link? If so, why not just start that data
on the next line?

Just curious (it seems so archaic)

It's the length of the text in the file, including the length characters
and hash.

Hi,

What are think first few characters in a lnk file on a Pocket PC? e.g.
"55#". Can I just create such a text file and drop in "...\Programs'
directory?

I tried a search, but couldn't fnid the info. Thanks,

Hilton
