Shortcuts are links to files stored in different folders and drives on your PC. In Windows Start Menu, there are many shortcuts pointing to various files elsewhere on your hard drive. These shortcuts offer great convenience and allow you to find the targeted file quickly. When you run these shortcuts, corresponding application or document will open. However, when 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 and the error message about the shortcuts is really annoying.
