This should do:

CODE

@ECHO OFF
IF %1.==. GOTO :EOF
IF NOT EXIST %~dpnx1 GOTO :EOF
ECHO %~dpnx1
IF NOT %~x1.==.lnk. GOTO :EOF
more %~dpnx1 | FIND ":\" | FIND /V "/"
pause

The following works with Win7 shortcuts.

CODE

@More "%~dpn1.lnk" 2>Nul|Findstr ":\\."&&Ping -n 6 127.0.0.1>Nul

Just drag and drop the shortcut onto it to see it in action.

Here is the VBS script way of getting the lnk path. This script can handle multiple .lnk files being drag and drop on to it self.

CODE

Dim Obj, Act :Set Act = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
   If Not Wscript.Arguments.Count = 0 Then
    For Each Obj In WScript.Arguments
     If InStr(LCase(obj),LCase(".lnk")) Then
       Act.Popup vbCrLf & Act.CreateShortcut(obj).TargetPath,5,"ShortCut Path",4128
     End If
    Next
   End If
