What if I need a script that takes<br />
<br />
original shortcut<br />
\\server1\docs\project1<br />
<br />
and need to change<br />
\\server2\rootfolder\docs\<wbr />project1<br />
<br />
Essentially i need something that servers for &quot;server1&quot; and replaces it with \\server2\rootfolder\, and leaves the rest of the path intact as well.

Greetings,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I was wondering if there was anyway to modify a shortcut though a VBScript. EX) I have a desktop shortcut, that's path points to one server. I want to be able to run this script which MODIFYs the shortcuts path to point to another server. ie. original target path is \\server01\file.exe and I want it to point to \\server02\file.exe. I have searched the internet and I have only found how to create a new shortcut.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />

VBScript - Modify a shortcut (NOT CREATE ANOTHER ONE)
