Start menu shortcut repair/update tool
Start menu shortcut repair/update tool
(OP)
Im trying to fix the following problem:
In XP (classic view) we are categorizing shortcuts in StartMenu folders called "Viewers", "Programming", "Internet", "Editing" etc. All the programs are being distributed to each PC at campus through unattended installations (SMS). When a new version of a program is beeing installed, the shortcuts in the start menu turns dead! Is there any way to automatic update the shortcuts if they turn dead after a reinstallation?
(Ive added a screenshot if you did'nt understand the consept)
Any help would been truly appreciated!
Best Regards,

RE: Start menu shortcut repair/update tool
So, I would suggest using a script not unlike the original script that created those shortcuts to be run after the updates to delete and recreate.
Hopefully, someone else may shed more knowledge.
Good Luck
