From the "When good links go bad" department: Lockergnomie Mike Krajewski uncovered a hidden gem on the Windows 98 CD-ROM. In the Tools \ Reskit \ Desktop folder click on "chklnks.exe" to open up the Check Link Wizard. This utility will scan your hard drive for defunct shortcuts. If you want, you can copy this program to your hard drive and use it every once in a while (when you're feeling like cleaning up your computer).
