The code below works great for regular .lnk shortcuts, but folder shortcuts give me: [...] persistFile.Load(fname,STGM_READ) pywintypes.com_error: (-2147024891, 'Access is denied.', None, None)The quirk with folder shortcuts is they have some DOS attributes set, which I suspect could be causing me trouble. Is there, perhaps, something I need to do to get my IPersistFile to ignore file attributes?
Your code works for me, although the SFGAO_FOLDER bit is not set for my folder shortcut. If you do a "dir" of the folder where the link lives, what do you see? Is it actually a .lnk file of about a kilobyte?
There are no DOS attributes on my folder shortcut. What do you see? -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc.
