  1. Add an Open Application activity to the sequence.
  2. Indicate the target application on this page

Use Get text activity or Get full text activity.

hi @DarDarSara

use below syntax:

“C:\Users"+Environment.UserName+”\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\UiPath\UiPath Studio.lnk"

@rlgandu there are too many shortcuts in the folder. I have already done a lot of UI automation in other areas of my task. So, it would be better if I can do without UI automation for this. Thank you for your help tho.

is there any alternative way to get the text from Target? I can open the file either with UI automation or start process activity. That’s not my concern. I just want to extract the text from Target from properties.

No, this is not what I want. I am showing this as an example so that people will know what result I expect. There are many shortcuts and they have different structures.
