Delete Broken Windows Shortcuts

While shortcuts are very helpful in opening files or folders easier, they can create a problem when files or folders that point to them are deleted. Instead of deleting these shortcuts automatically, Windows decides to leave the task to you. Thus, you may have a lot of invalid shortcuts scattered in your system eating up your harddisk space over time.



Instead of manually searching for the invalid shortcuts one by one, you can hand it over to Orphans Remover. This free program will assist you in cleaning all of the broken shortcuts located at start menu, desktop, favorites, history, recent documents, temp directory, program files, application data, or any folder you specify. Furthermore, you can include the shortcuts that point to files on network or removable drives, ram disks and cd-rom drives in the searching.
