Removing Broken Shortcuts

In the following chapters, you will find out why it is important to do so and how you can use the TuneUp

Shortcut Cleaner module to clean up your system by removing invalid shortcuts and references.

All modifications to your system will be monitored by TuneUp Rescue Center and can be undone if

necessary.

Introduction

The TuneUp Shortcut Cleaner module helps you quickly and easily to "restore order" to your computer. The

module checks all shortcuts on your Desktop, in the start menu and in the Quick Launch bar. If a shortcut

references a program that no longer exists or a deleted file, you can easily remove it. Empty folders in the

Start menu are also identified, which mostly arise after you have rearranged the Start menu manually.

In addition, TuneUp Shortcut Cleaner analyses the file history lists from Microsoft Office programs, Ope-

nOffice©, Windows Media Player and Nero©. These lists contain references to the files most recently

accessed in the programs. These entries will also be checked here. If some point to files that no longer exist

or which have been moved, you can delete them.

This means that your system is free from unnecessary ballast; it also means that you no longer have to waste

time trying to call up broken links.
