Since a URL shortcut is just a text file you can use this to search through the lines:

Code: Select all

        Dim lines As String() = File.ReadAllLines("link.url")

        Dim url As String = ""
        Dim ico As String = ""
        For i As Integer = 0 To lines.Length - 1
            If lines(i).StartsWith("BASEURL=") Then
                url = lines(i).Remove(0, 8)
            ElseIf lines(i).StartsWith("IconFile=") Then
                ico = lines(i).Remove(0, 9)
            End If
        Next

        MsgBox("URL is: " & url)
        MsgBox("Icon is: " & ico)
