What is the best way to quickly delete dead shortcuts? Is there software for this? I want to delete all dead shortcuts in my Start Menu
There are many programs for this, but I like the way System Mechanic handles that task. Overall, a very good system optimizer.
Hope this helps.

I agree with Alvaro. I started to use System Mechanic a couple of days ago. It does tons of stuff. It comes with a 30-day trial. I'm seriously thinking about buying this one. Mark

A note about System Mechanic. The website shows it at 49.99 dollars but Fry's has it for 39.99 with a 20.00 dollar rebate. Final price from Fry's 19.99. You can't beat that price for what this program does. Mark
