Description

The dumplinks module is a modified port of Harlan Carvey's lslnk.pl Perl script.
This module will parse .lnk files from a user's Recent Documents folder
and Microsoft Office's Recent Documents folder, if present.
Windows creates these link files automatically for many common file types.
The .lnk files contain time stamps, file locations, including share
names, volume serial numbers, and more.
