How to find out actual link address

D

We use shared contacts. On a contact we usually link to a pdf file specific
to that contact. The properties of the link shows only "Shortcut to...".
When the link doesn't work for some users, how can I find what the actual
shortcut is? IE I'd like to know if it is a UNC link what the \\server\file
is, or if it is to a drive letter, I'd like to see the drive:\folder\file.

See if you can save the shortcut/link to your hard drive then check the
properties from My Computer and check out the 'target'

Thanks for the answer. It worked well. My problem, now, is how to get the
correct link in to the contact. Outlook has translated the link from the
drive letter I need it to use, to a UNC which is invalid on other PCs.
