  1. Have dead end shortcuts auto deleted on click?


    Is there any way to have shortcuts whose file/folder no longer exists be deleted when you click them, instead of showing that "Problem with shortcut message" , then delete it. basically skip a step?

    EDIT: I guess I should go into more detail, I made a batch script that creates shortcuts for some files I need to check, the problem is it creates the shortcut weather the file exists yet, or not. So since I cant fix that issue id like the shortcut to be deleted when i click it, if the file does not exist.

    :)
