    Steam Game Shortcuts not working


    Since first installing 1903 as release preview I've found that Steam game shortcuts aren't working properly. This is despite a clean install on the release of 1903. Not sure what's going on.

    :)

  4. Steam Game Shortcuts not working

    Can't delete Steam game shortcuts

    Hi

    I recently got a new PC and was getting it set up okay.I found a way to restore the Games folder on for Windows 10(using the shell:games) command in Run.

    I made copied and my games executables,and then pasted the shortcuts in my newly created Games folder.Now,i did the same for some steam games and that seemed to work.

    But then when i asked Steam create a desktop shortcut for a game,and placed it in my Games folder i get a shorcut with no image attached to it.And i can't right click on it to get any options.And more importantly i can't delete this shorcut from my Games folder.

    I looked into shell:appsfolder,but i can't see the Steam dektop shortcut(3rd paragraph)there.

    Does anyone know how i can delete this Steam desktop shortcut form my Games folder?.

    Thanks in advance.

    Colin

    PS sorry if this in the wrong category.
