Windows 10: "Problem with shortcut"- this shortcut has been changed or moved so this shorcut will no...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Been playing a game for the past couple weeks and today i received an error message when i tried to open the desktop shortcut.


"The item, that has this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete this shortcut?"


I was already playing the game for an hour or so before i exited the app and tried to start it up again and then recieved this error message.


What can i do?

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.

 

Shortcut problems

ok ok... yes, i finally cave in and ask for help, rather than offering it *Stick Out Tongue


this ones probably simple for someone in the know, but i dont know where to look.
Simple problem - the context menu (right clicking somewhere, such as on my desktop) wont let me create shortcuts. i click it, and nothing happens at all.

All other items there work, just no shortcut wizard appears to let me enter the address/name for it.

All pre-made shortcut files work just fine, so its merely a registry setting to do with creating them.

Can anyone help out?
(OS is vista x64 if it helps)

 

Shortcut problems

just grab the address bar and drag it to desktop and it will make your shortcut

as for the problem, have you tried going into the options and resetting all defaults?
