Windows 10: I have a problem with shortcuts.

Background: I wanted to free up some space on my laptop by throwing several folders in OneDrive and didn't want to figure out what was in those folders, then it turned out that those folders contained a lot of desktop program shortcuts. when I finished moving the folders I noticed that the shortcuts disappeared. question: is there a program or something else to return shortcuts to the desktop, or sort program shortcuts from all files and folders, or other ways that will help solve the problem of returning shortcuts to their place

I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

• Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
• Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
• Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
• Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.

 

Shortcut problems

looots of questions: no, they worked normally and then it screwed up after a BSOD.

Shortcuts THEMSELVES work, its merely that say... right clicking, choosing new -> shortcut doesnt. thats how i make them, so its driving me nuts that it doesnt work.

I'm not really interested in other methods, i can do those - its just the new->shortcut menu problem.

i dont mean websites, i mean shortcuts to anything - i MAKE the shortcuts via this method, so its P*ssing me off that i have to do it alternative ways.
