get the "shortcut keys" of a shortcut (.lnk file)

hello all,

my script deploys some files to target machine, and using FileCreateShortcut it creates a shortcut (.lnk file) with a shortcut keys combination.

as part of a validation process, i'm trying to retrieve the shortcut keys combination of the created shortcut.

the internal FileGetShortcut does not return it.

the deployment is silent and done remotely, so it's not possible to open the "Properties" and capture the text in the "Shortcut Key" control.

i found _FileGetShortcutEx by Ascend4nt:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/118014-filegetshortcutex/

but (so i understand it) it does not return more details than the internal FileGetShortcut, only details of shortcuts that are not covered by it.

ideas?

thanks,

orbs
