Remove Broken Shortcuts
In the following chapters, you will find out why it is important to do so and how you can clean up your system
with the TuneUp Shortcut Cleaner module by removing invalid references and shortcuts.
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 ref-
erences 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.
