Welcome to Shell programming.  Most things in the Windows Shell is exposed
as COM interfaces.

ResolveShortCut (String lnkfile);

The article I pointed you to has the code for such a function.

Works fine for me.  You probably did not include shlobj.h into your code.

Note that for shlobj.h, if you are using BCB 5 or higher, you need to add
NO_WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN to the Conditionals list in the Project Options.

Note also that StringCbCopy() is declared in strsafe.h, which is not shipped
with BCB at all.  So you will have to download the latest Borland Platform
SDK from http://bccsdk.sourceforge.net in order to use it.  Otherwise, use
strncpy() instead
