How to Remove Broken Shortcuts

1. To launch the TuneUp Shortcut Cleaner tool, in the Start Center under the Maintain System category,

select All functions followed by the entry Remove broken shortcuts.

Your interface (Desktop, Start Menu, Quick Launch bar) and the history lists of some programs are

checked for broken shortcuts and entries. This analysis can last several minutes.

Following the analysis, TuneUp Shortcut Cleaner shows you a list of all invalid shortcuts and references.

If no invalid entries were found, a list of the locations searched will be shown. Click Close to exit this

function.

2. Decide for yourself whether all invalid shortcuts are to be deleted.

Clear the checkboxes of those invalid references that you do not want to delete. The standard setting is for

all invalid references to be deleted.

3. Click Cleanup

The cleanup process normally lasts just a few seconds. Afterwards you receive a short status report on the

number of references and shortcuts removed.

4. Click Finish to exit TuneUp Shortcut Cleaner.
