Testing Destination of Windows Shortcut lnk in Start Menu Win7x64

Thanks for the tips Robert.   This is what I ended up with in case anyone else is looking for this later, in javascript

function Test_SCExists_GetSCPath()
{
  if (!IsShortcutValid("Programs|Accessories|Paint", "|")) {
    Log.Error("Shortcut is not valid");
    return;
  }
  Log.Message("Shortcut is valid");
  
  
  var target = GetShortcutTarget("Programs|Accessories|Paint", "|");
  if (!target) {
    Log.Error("Shortcut doesn't exist");
    return;
  }
  Log.Message(target);
  
}
 
function IsShortcutValid(shortcutPath, separator)
{
  var StartDir, path, shortcut;
  StartDir = "C:\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\";
  path = shortcutPath.split(separator).join("\\") + ".lnk";
  if (aqFileSystem.Exists(StartDir + path)) {
    shortcut = WshShell.CreateShortcut(StartDir + path);
    return aqFileSystem.Exists(shortcut.TargetPath);
  }
  return false;
}


function GetShortcutTarget(shortcutPath, separator)
{
  var StartDir, path, shortcut;
  StartDir = "C:\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\";
  path = shortcutPath.split(separator).join("\\") + ".lnk";
  if (aqFileSystem.Exists(StartDir + path)) {
    shortcut = WshShell.CreateShortcut(StartDir + path);
    return shortcut.TargetPath;
  }
  return false;
}
