Hey
When I try to open Notepad it says that the shortcut"Notepad.lnk" refers to is unavailable.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I can explore my HD and open it there.

if u can open it from the actual file then then it isnt the file, its the shortcut, just make a new symlink (shorcut) to where ever u need it
