Hi all,

I am trying to run the following code in a loop to search for all broken
shortcuts on my Desktop/ Startmenu ( I mean to detect if a shortcut is
pointing to a file that was moved, deleted...etc), although everytime I
start searching I receive an AV just after the function detect and validate
the first 2 shortcuts...so can someone help me please and let me know what
exactly I am missing here.

   IShellLink* shell_link;

CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER | CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER | CLSCTX_INPROC_HANDLER, (_GUID)
IID_IShellLink, (void**) &shell_link );

    if (SUCCEEDED(result))
    {IPersistFile* persist_file;
      result = shell_link->QueryInterface( (_GUID)IID_IPersistFile, (void**)
&persist_file );
      if (SUCCEEDED(result))
      {
        //File below is just an example....

         ShortcutFilePath.WideChar(wShortcutFilePath, MAX_PATH);

        if (SUCCEEDED(persist_file->Load(wShortcutFilePath, STGM_READ)))
        {  if(SUCCEEDED(shell_link->Resolve(NULL, SLR_ANY_MATCH)))
