Fix LNK files of broken shortcuts in any folder, with ShortcutsMan


ShortcutsMan is a freeware that displays the details about all the shortcuts that you have on your desktop and under your start menu. Broken shortcuts (shortcuts that point to a file that doesn’t exist) are automatically painted with pink color. You can select one or more shortcuts, and then delete them, resolve them or save their properties to HTML/Text/XML file.

ShortcutsMan supports command-line options that will let you find, fix or delete shortcuts in any folder of your disk(s). Just copy the executable (shman.exe) to any folder you like, and run it. Wait until the shortcuts list is loaded. When you find one or more broken shortcuts, you can try to fix them by using the “Resolve Selected Shortcuts” option. If the filename was changed or moved to another folder, the resolving process will fix the shortcut so it’ll point to a valid filename.

Main Command-Line Options (more are available)

/folder <Folder>  Load the shortcuts list from the specified folder instead of loading them from the standard desktop/start menu folders.

/folders <Folder>  Similar to /folder option, but also scan all subfolders under the specified folder.

An example: shman.exe /folder “C:\anyfolder”
