I have two machines, a WinXP-pro and a WinXP-home on the same hardwired
Ethernet LAN. When I go to "My Network Places" on the WinXP-pro, it
lists obsolete directories (that used to be shared) that are no longer
on the WinXP-home machine. I would like to delete those shortcuts/links,
as the invalid shortcuts/links are easily confused with the valid links.
MY PROBLEM is how to delete those links.
Shortcuts and links to directories can normally be deleted by right
clicking on the undesired shortcut or link and selecting delete. If
while on the WinXP-pro machine, I right click on the links to the
obsolete directories on the WinXP-home machine, there is no "delete"
option. HOW DO I DELETE THOSE INVALID LINKS.
Is there some tool that will look at all of the shortcuts and links on
my machine and automatically delete those that no longer bring up a
valid directory or application? I realize such a tool would have to be
used with care, as one might not want to delete all shortcuts to a
particular computer on the LAN merely because that specific computer
happened to be off-line when the application was run.
