Now this topic can really be marked as resolved:
WinShortCutter is a collection of small and useful utilities
that are primarily focused on people working in a
MS Windows Dominant Office Environment with weak Apple Mac support.
° Do you work in an MS Windows Dominant Environment?
° Are your network drives packed with
MS Windows ShortCuts
that point to directories and documents?
° Are you tired of starting an MS Windows machine
just to change your MS Windows Domain PassWord?
° Do you want to Copy Path Names to an e-Mail?
Here is the answer: WinShortCutter!
---- FEATURES:
° Clicking on an MS Windows style ShortCut (.Lnk File)
will follow the Link:
- if the ShortCut points to a Folder,
a new Finder window will be opened,
- if the ShortCut points to a File,
this file will be loaded with the default application for the file.
- if the ShortCut points to a File on the Network,
the corresponding Drive will automatically be mounted, if needed.
° Alias can be generated with Command Double-Click,
without activating it in the System Preferences.
° WinShortCutter Services and Context Menus
(compatible with Snow Leopard and up):
- You can open a textual Link sent to you by an MS Windows user
by using the service or context menu.
- The finder context menu has a menu item to
copy filename paths into the clipboard.
You can then paste the text into an email.
If the mapping paths are enabled,
WinShortCutter will now also do a reverse mapping.
(You will have to enable this Service in the preferences).
° MS Windows Domain PassWords can be changed
using the WinShortCutter System Preferences.
° Path Copy can also produce
Paths with BackSlashes (\) for MS Windows.
This behavior is configurable in the System Preferences
° Support for CIFS drives.
° [New] QuickLook feature will
show where the ShortCut points to.
° [New] Browser Extensions:
On Web Pages containing
Links to Local Files or Shared Files ("file://"),
clicking these Links will open them
via WinShortCutter's MS Windows Link function.
(You will first have to install the extension
in WinShortCutter's System Preferences).
° Enhanced Mapping Feature with arbitrary path.
See Description below for a detailed explanation.
° Easy to Use:
comes with a proper installer and works right out of the box.
---- SUPPORTED OS / PLATFORMS:
Intel only, Mac OS X 10.8 or higher
(earlier versions available for older versions of MacOS X)
Works with Mountain Lion:
Code is signed and works with GateKeeper setting
"Mac App Store and Identified Developers"
The latest release is for Mountain Lion only.
Please use one of the earlier versions
when using an older version of Apple Mac OS X
(see download links below).
---- VERSION HISTORY:
What's New in Version 3.5:
° Added Support for Mountain Lion. Code is signed
and works with Gatekeeper setting
"Mac App Store and identified developers".
° Added new Menu Option "Copy URL to Clipboard"
° Added possibility to open Links directly in the Web Browser
(Safari, FireFox, Google Chrome) by left click.
° Improved installer which enforces Log Out after installation.
What's New in Version 3.2:
° Support for MacOS Lion
° Support for other character code sets (e.g. Greek).
° Improved path detection
(File URLs now work with an arbitrary number of slashes).
° Various BugFixes (please read the included Readme file for details).
What's New in Version 2.3.1:
° Fixed a bug in copying paths,
when mount points contained spaces.
° Fixed a problem,
where WinShortCutter could enter an infinite loop in very rare cases.
° Support for DFS (AdmitMAC and DAVE)
° The context menu in the finder now does not display the full path anymore,
just a generic "Copy Path to ClipBoard".

The question was:
"Is there a software to read .Lnk files on Mac?"
“Is there a software that makes
Apple Mac OS recognize the content
of MS Windows Shortcuts saved in LNK format (.Lnk),
and convert this File or Folder Address
into an Alias usable by Mac OS? ”
(Software that will certainly need to include an option to indicate the equivalence
of the DRIVE LETTERS used by MS Windows
to the NAMES of Logical Drives used by Mac OS).
That's the question! ;-)
