When working with a folder that contains several shortcuts, it can be tedious to check the properties of each shortcut. This PowerShell script loops over all of the shortcuts in the folder and reports the name of the executable, start in path, and command line arguments in table format.

$path = Read-Host "Enter the path to search for shortcuts"; Get-ChildItem $path -Filter *.lnk | Select-Object @{Name='Shortcut';Expression={$.Name}}, @{Name='Target';Expression={(New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell).CreateShortcut($.FullName).TargetPath}}, @{Name='Arguments';Expression={(New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell).CreateShortcut($.FullName).Arguments}}, @{Name='StartIn';Expression={(New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell).CreateShortcut($.FullName).WorkingDirectory}} | Format-Table -AutoSize

$currentDate = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-ss";
# The file is in the parent temp directory, not the user specific temp directory
$TailFilePath = $env:TEMP + "\..\$currentDate process log usage.txt";
Get-Content -Path $TailFilePath -Wait -Tail 15;

$host.ui.RawUI.WindowTitle = "My Useful Script is Running " + $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path;

If you need a list of full paths to the files in the current directory use the readlink command:

readlink -r *

find . -type f -exec stat --format '%Y :%y %n' "{}" \; | sort -nr | cut -d: -f2- | head
