IShellLink::GetPath

Syntax:

GetPath (LPSTR pszFile, int cchMaxPath, WIN32_FIND_DATA *pfd,
DWORD fFlags);

Parameters:

• pszFile is a pointer to a text buffer that receives the path.
• cchMaxPath is the maximum number of characters for the path.
• pfd is a pointer to a structure containing information about the shortcut object.
• fFlags consists of the flags specifying the type of path information
  to retrieve.

Description:

Gets the current fully qualified path for the shortcut object. The string containing the path is copied into the pszFile parameter. The pfd parameter is a pointer to a WIN32_FIND_DATA structure. This is the same information that is returned when making a call to FindFirstFile and FindNextFile, and it includes the file's attributes, creation time, and so on. The fFlags parameter can be set to SLGP_UNCPRIORITY to obtain the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to the file.
