Windows 10: Changing HDD's shortcuts

So I recently bought a brand new HD (to replace my 500GB old friend) and I moved everything from my old HD (G:\) to this new HD (D:\). What happens is that I had a bunch of shortcuts (from Start Menu to "Open with Sublime Text" shortcuts) pointing to that "G:\". And all of them broke because the programs are now located at "D:\path\program.exe" rather than "G:\path\program.exe".

As a way of avoiding that cuckjob of replacing every single shortcut by hand, I tried renaming my D: drive to G:, but I get an error from the Windows Disk Manager saying "Invalid parameters"...

So my doubt is: Do I have any way of "find and replace" the shortcuts' main drive, by regedit ou anything like that?

Or even forcefully renaming the drive letter?



Thanks in advance
