Rename path in a windows shortcut?

I have searched help but can't find an answer.

I have hundreds of Windows shortcuts (right click, new, shortcut...) that are being moved to a different file server, so the path will be totally different.

Using this ANT tool, would there be a way to define the path of the shortcut?

Please help!

thanks

Unfortunately no.
And the shortcuts to files (.LNK) being binary files unlike internet shortcut (.URL), that change cannot even be made easily with an editor.
I do not know if a tool for such case exist (it is annoying indeed, maybe some day I should write one...)
