LNK Parser allows you to view the content of Windows shortcut (.LNK) files.
Command-line Usage
You can run the program from a command-line and supply a shortcut file or a directory. If a directory is supplied, the directory and any sub-directories will be scanned for shortcut files.
Example 1: lnk_parser_cmd.exe shortcut.lnk
Example 2: lnk_parser_cmd.exe C:\Users\User\Desktop
There are additional options that can be specified to allow you to generate various reports of the shortcut file information.
The following is a list of supported options:
-o Sets the output directory for reports.
-w Generates an HTML report.
-c Generates a comma-separated values (CSV) report.
-r Remnant and unprocessed data will be dumped to the HTML report.
-s Prevents the console from outputting information.
Example: lnk_parser_cmd.exe -o Output -w -c -r -s shortcut.lnk
If you wish to save the command-line output to a file, you can use the redirect operator.
Example: lnk_parser_cmd.exe shortcut.lnk > output.txt
You can speed up the extraction and report generation by redirecting the command-line output to the NUL device, or by using the -s option mentioned above.
Example 1: lnk_parser_cmd.exe shortcut.lnk > NUL
Example 2: lnk_parser_cmd.exe -s shortcut.lnk
The program can also be run normally (not through the command-line). It will ask for the shortcut file or directory, and whether you wish to include a report(s).
When specifying a file or directory path, it's best to surround it with quotes since spaces within the path might be interpreted as separate options.
