| | Almost all software shortcut gone in Start menu>Program files I left my computer on throughout the night while trying to format an external HD. When I woke up this morning I noticed the most common software used are games. When I check the folders in the program files (start menu directory), I see the folders, but the shortcut contents are all "(empty)". However when I open windows explorer>Program files I see the the programs are there in the folder, so I could still use it it if I double click it. Is there a way to correct the shortcut back in the start menu? I'm not sure why this happens. Last edited by Brink; 08-13-2011 at 11:50 AM.. Reason: removed broken image link |
