Layout of ShortcutText.txt

ShortcutText.txt is laid out using the standard Windows .ini file format:

[Section]
Item1="value1"
Item2="value2"

You can change any of the values within the file. Remember to enclose each value in quotes. For example:

"IPM.Task=This task has been archived. "

The sections within ShortcutText.txt are as follows:

[Archived text]

The entries in this section are displayed in the banner at the top of the shortcut.

The entry that is used for the shortcut is the one that matches the archived item's message class. For example, shortcuts to items with message class IPM.Note contain the text This message has been archived.

Values in this section all have a space before the final quote. This space separates the text from the link text.

[Link]

The entry in this section specifies the text in the banner that is a link to the archived item.

[Attachment table]

The Title entry in this section specifies the text immediately before the list of attachments.

The DefaultItemTitle entry is used to label any attachments that have no title of their own.
