[python-win32] Find Target

[Rickey, Kyle W]

Tim, thanks for your patience :). I think I'm still miscommunicating to
you what I need to do. Let's throw the whole shortcut idea out the
window and start from scratch.

My code generates a file, I want to open the directory (which is known)
containing that file and select it. Since I can open the directory with
os.startfile(), do I still need to get the hwnd of the explorer window
and get the listctrl etc., or is there a simpler way to select a file?

"Find Target" just follows a shortcut and opens the directory containing

that shortcut.  The shell library has an API for fetching the target 
path from a shortcut file.  You could just pull the path from the 
shortcut, and startup a new Explorer in that directory.
