Windows LNK File Parser and Creator
Project description
PyLnk 3
Python library for reading and writing Windows shortcut files (.lnk).
Converted to support python 3.
This library can parse .lnk files and extract all relevant information from them. Parsing a .lnk file yields a LNK object which can be altered and saved again. Moreover, .lnk file can be created from scratch be creating a LNK object, populating it with data and then saving it to a file. As that process requires some knowledge about the internals of .lnk files, some convenience functions are provided.
Limitation: Windows knows lots of different types of shortcuts which all have different formats. This library currently only supports shortcuts to files and folders on the local machine.
