Shortcuts Fixer

Top  Previous  Next

Shortcuts are links to files stored in different folders and drives on your PC hard-disk.Your Windows Start Menu is comprised of shortcuts pointing to various files elsewhere on your hard drives.  Double clicking (or otherwise invoking) a shortcut automatically opens its corresponding application or document.  Sometimes, the "targets" of these shortcuts are moved or deleted, leaving the shortcut pointing to a file or location that no longer exists. Such 'dead' shortcuts clutter your Start Menu and Desktop.

 

Shortcuts Fixer provides you with a convenient way to address these invalid shortcuts.By scanning your system, it finds all the invalid shortcuts and reports back to you so that you can remove it from your system or fix it by update the shortcut with the new information.
