finding and parsing internet shortcuts in Win

[David Glasgow]

Hello folks,

I am trying to find out how to recognise 'internet shortcuts' on 
Windows.  Some say the extension is URL, but actually they don't seem 
to show an extension even if this option is switched on.  And of 
course, I don't mean URLs, I mean the shortcut text files that contain 
1 or more URLs, and if you double click on them they take you there 
using the default browser.  If I could find them readily, I could 
easily parse the contents within REV.  (Incidentally, I don't want to 
just look in the usual places, so for the purposes of the query, assume 
I have a list of all possible files, and want to identify which are 
internet shortcuts).

Thanks,

Best Wishes,

David Glasgow
