How to display shortcuts target details in Windows Explorer
Is there a way to add the target path of shortcuts in the details display of Windows Explorer? When I add path it displays the shortcut path. I want to display the target path of the shortcut. Thanks

Since "Path" column displays the paths to listed files and shortcut is a file, obviously, it's impossible to enable Explorer to "follow" the shortcut and display the actual file that shortcut is pointing to.

Um, impossible ? Try : from the file menu click "View" and select "Choose Details" from the dropdown list. In the pop-up window, tick "Link Target". You will then be able to see the targets of shortcuts in that folder.
