Review XP Shortcuts
[This Excel
Workbook requires Excel XP, Excel 2003 or later to run. It is designed to evaluate a Windows XP PC] Launching this workbook brings up a form with buttons for
different options. It searches the
entire computer for shortcuts (lnk type, not URL) and makes a list of them
except those found in subfolders of “system volume information”, “systemprofile”,
or any with “\recent\” in the path. It
documents the target file or folder of each and determines whether or not the
target is still present on the PC. There
is an option to have the program delete all the “orphaned” shortcuts (where the
target is no longer present). The
download is a compressed folder, Fld12, containing the files
XP_Link_Checker.xls and ReadMe.txt.
