Fix Invalid Shortcuts

Most often you delete/move the target file or folder of a shortcut, making that shortcut invalid.
This utility searches your disk for such dead shortcuts, and can even fix them, by automatically searching for moved targets.

Usage

• There are two options for scanning for invalid shortcuts. (1) Scan for invalid/broken shortcuts from Start Menu or Desktop or ,   (2) Scan for hard-disk drives specified. For option (2), Click 'Drives'. You will be shown the option dialog. From that, select the 'Scan all drives specified in the drives tab' option. Select the drives on your hard disk you want to scan, by check marking the appropriate drives.
• Click the 'Scan' icon. Wait for the process to complete, when the 'Please wait' dialog box will be gone. You can cancel the scanning process by pressing the cancel Button or pressing Esc Key.
• From the list of links presented, you can select those files that you want to delete by check marking them. By default, all links found are marked for deletion. Select the files and right click on them to see the context menu. There are various options, all of them self-explanatory.
• If you come across such a link that you know the file it points to, you can fix this. Select the link, right click and click on the Fix As option. Then browse and show the path to that file and Ace Utilities will fix the broken link for you.

To set the options, click 'Options' on the left side.
